Conference

The Presence of African Americans in the U.S.

Authors: Jeremiah Cobb (Iowa State University) , Rodney Jones (Iowa State University) , Curtis Tarver II (Iowa State University)

Abstract

This session will cover several subtopics discussing education in America, the contributions of African Americans to America, and also the roots to the purposeful psychology of slavery; which still pervades American society. We will attempt to discuss the stereotypes associated with African Americans, and how the dominant members of this society often project these stereotypes. We will discuss the overall need for more representation instead of presentation in our lives in general, and the mass media and education in particular. Our primary objective is to convince the audience of the tremendous need for objectivity in our society, rather than one-sided arguments by those who control the major means of persuasion, because objectivity will provide everyone with the truth.
