Draft Unit 1: African Origins of Humanity and the Dispersal
Summary: Throughout the 400 year tenure of African
Americans in the United States, Africa and her people have
been grossly misrepresented as inferior and non contributors to
human civilization. This narrative was used as the prime
justification for African enslavement. This narrative formed the
basis for the nation's legal racial discrimination system for
years. This false narrative is the root of many domain and
background assumptions held by many Americans. This false
narrative has long been the bane of the African American's
struggle for freedom and full citizenship.
