Unfortunately, im scared that if i major in that, then perhaps i wont find success in finding a career. Alot of people discourage me from wanting to study the history of our people. I understand that, that shouldnt be, but at the same time i would like to know what others think. Should i go to college and major in African studies? If so, what type of careers do you in my future? And if success would await, at what institution do you think would be great for that. Ive always had Howard University in mind........ |
I think you're making a right choice....for one you want to go college and study African/African American studies. My advice to you is to do what makes you happy...if you find joy learning about black history go for it. However, if you dont see yourself doing that in 10 years from now....I think you may want to rethink it. Also you should become a black scholar
and write books about black history..you can reveal the truth about our history that eurocentric scholars are trying to cover up. But what ever you decide make sure you LIKE TO DO IT...I know it sounds corney but its the truth ..peace
