Program’s Mission: Stimulate critical thought in order to realistically redefine our narrative and positively reshape our reality through dialogue and with self-determination.
Perspective: The majority of the African American youth find it hard to identify with the accepted norms and customs that have been accepted as part of the black culture. Why is this? A vast majority of black young men, women, and children have come to learn the history of the black people from second sources and third parties. They have a very shallow understanding of the African American peoples’ struggles and that is majorly from the history books, not through actual experiences. Their identity crisis therefore, stems from a wide range of reasons. Chief among them is the history of black people in America which they cannot ideally relate to. Can the African American youth relate to that which they have had no interaction with at personal level? Think about it.
