BLACK AFRICAN/AFRICAN-AMERICAN VALUES
Black African-American and African-Americas values come from strong cultural and religious values enrooted in African culture and traditions.
These values have helped to create a strong African-America and strong America in general. It was and is the African way of seeing humans as an extension of the Godhead (as in Voodoo and Orisha religions) that have helped to bring most Americans (including European descent) from that of feeling like ‘peasants’ and slaves of the very powerful (slave owners, plantation owners, those who bought or used European surf labor), to being taught about human freedom and spiritual abilities by Africans. This idea also goes for women as well, who have learned the custom of being family-strong from African and African-American culture.
