In celebration of Black History Month, Southern Cultures permanently has dedicated new webspace to all of our essays and features from the last decade on AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE. For classrooms around the world, this material includes interviews with many famous figures (and lesser known ones, too), as well as material which explores many aspects of the experiences of African Americans inside and outside the South. In addition, we’ve also been presenting featured content on our homepage to commemorate African American history: an essay from Timothy B. Tyson, author of Blood Done Sign My Name, who reveals why Martin Luther King’s message endures and what he means to the South and the nation.
To date, over 65,000 teachers and students from classrooms in more than 1400 colleges and universities in 66 countries have viewed our material online. To view our new webspace on AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE, please visit:
