Teaching African-American Children: The Legacy Of Slavery, Harold Horton
Teaching African-American Children: The Legacy Of Slavery, Harold Horton
New England Journal of Public Policy
The pathetic state of urban public school education offered to African-American children stems from slavery, when it was against the law to educate slaves, who were regarded as chattel. This article traces the history of the blighting of their minds by stripping those slaves of their African culture, and its effect on African-American children, as well as other children of color, today. Horton offers suggestions for coping with the problems of modern schools as related to respecting and teaching these children, pointing out that the system is the problem, not the children.

Eastern Abenaki Autonomy And French Frustrations, 1745-1760, David L. Ghere
Maine History
Most Abenaki Indians became French allies between 1745 and 1760, but in effect it was English policy that ultimately drove them into this alliance.

Grandmother, Daughter, Princess, Squaw: Native American Female Stereotypes In Historical Perspective, Pauleena M. Macdougall

Similarly, the daughter of a tribal leader; married to a British man, acquired the attributes of European royalty, becoming a “princess. ”
The African-American Urban Milieu And Economic Development, Lenneal J. Henderson
The African-American Urban Milieu And Economic Development, Lenneal J. Henderson
Trotter Review
Economic disparity between urban white America and urban black America is becoming more pronounced, whether in central cities, suburbs, or edge cities. African-American employment prospects have declined in central cities, increased slightly in suburbs, and increased substantially for the few African Americans living and working in edge cities. William Julius Wilson cites the decline in stable, higher-paying, blue-collar employment in the industrial cities throughout America. Others identify the changing structure of metropolitan employment as characterized by more rapid professional and white-collar employment growth in suburbs and edge cities and declining employment in central cities. In his book, Cities Without Suburbs …
Revisiting The Question Of Reparations, James Jennings
Revisiting The Question Of Reparations, James Jennings
Trotter Review
Recent congressional action to award Japanese Americans "reparations" for their internment during World War II, as well as the Florida state legislature's act to award $150,000 to black survivors of a white riot rampage of Rosewood, a black town, in 1923, has contributed to a re-emergence of the call for black reparations. Several black state and local politicians and leaders across the United States have called for legislative action that would compensate blacks for three and one half centuries of racial enslavement. The awarding of reparations to Japanese Americans is not the only precedent for indemnity to a group of …
The African-American Business Tradition In Boston, Robert C. Hayden
The African-American Business Tradition In Boston, Robert C. Hayden
Trotter Review
African Americans in Boston have been exhibiting their interest and talents in business for a long time. Those in business today are continuing a tradition that goes back to the African culture of preslavery days. Enslaved Africans who were brought to America came from a business tradition, from a culture of great traders, merchants, and craftsmen. Many enslaved blacks, in fact, purchased their freedom by marketing their skilled services and handmade products.
