AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE 

"The time when man can live together in harmony, is when he is no longer referred to by the Color of a Skin; rather...by the Basis of an Origin". June Colbert Bowman-Sims

                 

   Every person who immigrates to America brings with them the love for their motherland that is embedded in their total persona, and continued throughout their exsistance here in the United States of America. That love of country is passed down through generations. Further, their culture developed over the centuries solidifies their ethnicity, and becomes the foundation for economic development that support their lifestyles in their new environments.

   African-Americans also have a love for their country of origin, 'America'.  Unity of this group has been impossible to achieve because of the racial mixture and rejection of offspring from members of other ethnic groups that make-up the American society.    

                                                          The Mother of the Movement                            

   We have a difficult time coming together as a unit, because we are a mixed race group who have been deprived of the knowledge of our origin.  If there had not been for the Slave Trade, our ethnic group, the African-American, would not have come into existance.  But, since we have been here for hundreds of years, America is the only homeland that we know of and love.

Long before the Pligrims came to America on the Mayflower, there were Native people on the land. They were called Indians. Black African People were bought to the continent on Slave Ships, and enslaved where they remained for hundreds of years. European and other slave masters passed their genetic material along to the offspring of their slaves. We were saddled with the term bastered.

 

 

                        

 

From that racial mixture a subracial group of the black race called negroes which are now called African-Americans.
