The Black Studies Programme: Strategy and Structure

Abstract

The author argues that Black Studies programs are necessary to correct the overwhelming lack of accurate information about the black man's role in the United States, from both an historical and a contemporary viewpoint. The central purpose of Black Studies must be to convert people to a psychological and political awareness of what constitutes the destiny of all Afro-Americans, and what the black man's commitment to the destiny of his race must be for his people to survive.
