Fedrick Ingram:
Well, what we’re hearing is that students are appalled.
When you talk about African Americans and you talk about the history and culture of African Americans, whether it’s through their music, through the arts, through the dance, through the intellectual acumen that we have provided this country, it’s a direct insult to folks.
We have four HBCUs, historically Black colleges and universities, that teach African American studies on a very high level. And to take this optional class that is in pilot form and say that it is not good for our student bodies, it is not going to come off well.
And our students are reacting in a way that they should. They should be appalled and they should be concerned, because somebody is trying to take away something that they deserve to have. And that’s honest history.
