For hundreds of years, America’s public education system has left much of African American history out of the curricula. But the establishment of Black studies departments and programs in colleges and universities starting in the late 1960s sought to address the omission of Black people from a variety of educational disciplines.
In his new book, An Introduction to Black Studies, Dr. Eric Jackson makes the case for the continuing need for Black studies in university curricula. On Cincinnati Edition we discuss the founding of such programs and some of the figures behind the movement.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."This book features seventeen chapters that focus on the primary eight disciplines of Black studies: history, sociology, psychology, religion, feminism, education, political science, and the arts. Each chapter includes a biographical vignette of an important figure in African American history, such as Frederick Douglass, Louis Armstrong, and Madam C. J. Walker, as well as student learning objectives that provide a starting point for educators. This valuable work speaks to the strength and rigor of scholarship on Blacks and African Americans, its importance to the formal educational process, and its relevance to the United States and the world."
