Music, dance, food, fashion, and the melanin in our skin, all play a part in our Black History. Since the beginning of time, African Americans have always been seen as minorities and were forced to create pathways for their community. Our history began in the 17th century after the arrival of African people to North America. For as long as we can remember, we have idolized dark chocolate skin, and our history has allowed us to realize that despite African Americans’ struggles, we have made a lasting impact on our world. We see this lasting impact through our sense of style, our foods, our music, our inventions, and more that we have created. This is what black history means to US.
