Why I think a student should earn a degree in Black Studies.
- It provides the student with a foundation in African American history and culture and the experience of Africans, their descendents in the U.S.A.
- The above contributes to the African American students self- esteem and is a course of empowerment.
- Contributes to the student’s ethnic sensitivity in his or her professional life, especially in the “helping” professions.
