Welcome to ASB HISTORY

Black American history, while being American history is debated by those who are concerned about which parts should be shared, particularly with school children. Why is this, when historical truths are documented in records available for teaching? If America is ashamed of historical facts, this is no excuse for dismissing the facts particularly when daily news reports evidence of misunderstandings about "others" that result in ethnic stereotypes.

Learning the history of ethnic groups is essential for multicultural societies because it impacts how they live together.

While all groups write history, sometimes messages about outside groups define them by perceptions of their "truth" which is often incorrect but accepted. as true. We must learn all the histories that contribute to the American story. This will reveal how we are alike and uniquely ourselves. By learning about how misinformation contributed to ethnic group atrocities here and around the world allows ground for understanding and solutions.

We Must Be Taught

Education. Schools, and institutions of learning are created for one purpose; to inform about how to live better and wiser. Beyond basic education, skills for daily living improve quality of life. An essential feature of lifestyle quality is safety and wellness. Conflicts around the world show that this is not a given with escalations rather than learning ways to "get along."

ASB History offers history lessons for family, school, organization, and church programs.
