African people

The Gullah People in Relation to the African Diaspora In the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, the infamous middle passage occurred. During this horrific voyage, slaves of the African descent suffered and many died in result of the conditions of the voyage.

To begin, the concept of referring to all black people as "African Americans" is in itself an immensely polarizing term, as it insinuates that all black people descend from only Africa and that from there their real history only begins once they were forced into slavery in America. It forces one to forget any of the rich history their culture once held and instead makes them remember only a history of submission and pain.

However, the impact that…
