What Ever Happened to Black History?
Speaker(s): William Katz, Del Shields (host)
Description: William Loren Katz had just worked with Arno Press and the New York Times to publish a 45-volume set of books called "The American Negro: History and Literature." The set included many book unpublished for 50-100 years. (This later became a 146 volume set.) The series was intended to help Black students understand their history, and to help White students to be more educated and open-minded. Callers wanted advice on how to understand Black history better, referenced other documents on Black history, asked why most of African-American history has been left out of American history textbooks, and whether public schools would start to teach Black history in America. Katz is an American educator, historian, and author of many books on African-American history, including a number of titles for young adult readers. He is particularly noted for his extensive writings on the 500-year history of relations between African Americans and Native Americans in the New World.Length: 58:57
