“The play is not really what Michael Jackson did but about
someone who idolizes him. We use it to bring out
information about Michael Jackson and other historical

things that are not my top choice, support those who support me and engage in give and

Africans in History
When historian, Carter G. Woodson, introduced “Negro History Week” in 1926, it was
designed to focus on the achievements of Negroes and inform others that we were artists
as well as athletes and actors, scientists as well as singers, doctors as well as dancers, and
engineers as well as entertainers.
In 1976, fifty years after “Negro History Week” was introduced, it was decided that we
needed more time to celebrate our schievements and heritage. And, every February since
1976, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation recognizing the
contributions of African Americans.
Although we must applaud Dr. Woodson for this beginning, there are, at least, two
things wrong with “Black History Month.” (1) It suggests that we have to have permission
from others to teach our story of survival and greatness. And (2) No other ethnic group has
to have permission, or a presidential proclamation to tell their story.
We must speak, not about “Black History Month,” but about “Africans in History.”
When we were brought to this country, we never ceased to be Africans. The blacks who
fought on the side of the Union Army during the Civil War against the Confederate soldiers
were Africans. They were not American citizens.
We have never ceased to be Africans anymore than the Irish ceased to be Irish, or the
Germans ceased to be Germans. Africa is our heritage. America is our experience. We are,
indeed, Africans in America. And since ours is a story of survival, nobody can tell our story
like the people who lived it. And we must tell it in our homes, our schools and our churches.
Early in its history, it was the African Methodist Episcopal Church which was at the
forefront of our struggle against slavery and racial segregation. It told our story. And, so
while our churches are unapologetically Christian, they must also be unashamedly African-
American. And that, too, must be our story.
