whether something is right or wrong (Merriam Webster), or moral ambiguity is a theme which is prevalent in society, but conclusively in Toni Morrison’s, Beloved. Beloved, the novel of history and broken memories, tells the story of Sethe, a former slave living in Ohio in the 1800’s.

Although different technological and cultural aspects changed amongst the two societies, they did maintain the general goods that were being traded, the importance of the Indian Ocean, and the people who benefited from the trade.

Before taking this class, I didn’t know what to expect. A few friends recommended the class but gave little insight on what the class would be about. When I read the title and description of the class I believed that we would be a simple Black history class, but after taking this class, I learned that it was so much more. Before, I thought I had Blackness figured out seeing that I am a Black woman, but after taking Introduction to the Black Experience, I have learned that there is so much…
