Reflective Narrative: HCOM 346 African American Life & History
I chose to take this course because I wanted to learn more about the history of African American from different aspects. Throughout my education, I didn't really have the opportunity to learn more about this ethnic group until this semester. It was very interesting to see how African Americans have come so far, but are still struggling to have the same treatment as anglo-saxons. It's very unfortunate to see that African Americans are still badly discriminated against and are the group of people who have the most people incarcerated. With the use of certain books, we were able to comprehend more how the Jim Crow was created, the beginning of the Social Rights Movement, the Bus Boycotts, and so much more. Through this course I was able to fulfill the MLO outcomes of Secondary Culture, in which we explore the concepts of the culture of African Americans while also comparing it to Hispanic cultures. I was able to distinguish the similarities between Hispanic cultures and African American culture, people from both cultures have been brutally attacked and discriminated against for many years due to their different beliefs and traditions. Both cultures have their own unique traditions, however both of these cultures have a negative history due to the amount of racial profiling they receive in this country. This class has helped me understand how even now, we continue to live in a country that still includes a new Jim Crow system that can continue to affect both of these cultures.
