Your  final discussion is to prepare a letter to the editor of your local  newspaper that would explain to all of America why African American  History should be taught in American schools.

Explain  why every American should known this history and propose how knowing  specific parts of this history could help mend race relations in the  United States.

You  will be expected to use specific facts, events and people from the  class content, text book, lessons, lectures, discussions and videos to  show how knowing this history can explain the trauma that has affected  so many Americans.

These  facts, events, and people must come from your required work this term  and from research in the library or from the course bibliography.

In your letter, demonstrate the breadth of knowledge you have gained from this work.

If you wish, you can add to the letter some ways to heal our nation.

What steps can we use to end racism and division among communities and cultures.
