My handsome grandfather Edward Loper. My great grandmother and great grandfather attended Howard and were some of the first Black teachers. There is a couple of large pictures of my great grandfather Millard A Naylor hanging in the old building. He was a sports coach also. He has a park and par of a street named after him, My daughter and niece had the great opportunity to have graduated from there. I hate the fact that people of color keep calling themselves African Americans. You are not African, as you can hear they have not once called you African. It was made up later.
Thank you for your comment. I am an Educational Leadeship (EdD) student and working a new intern with Preservation Delaware for their du Pont Schools project as an oral historian, this video and your comment really brings a greater appreciation for what opportunities I have. I desire to be a college professor, and forgive me if what I am about to say is insensitive, but to your grandparents and any other relatives that served as educators, I thank them.
You are 100% right ..we are BLACK AMERICANS...after all that our people have done for this country calling us anything but Black American is disrespectful..you dont hear people call white people British American or French American you know why because THEY HAVE BEEN IN THIS COUNTRY FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS JUST LIKE US
@@mycolortv1in all actuality were not black Americans we are indigenous aborigines. I use the term black because most people don’t know what that means and we are also the first original native American copper color races. I grew up knowing that I was a Chippewa Indian as well as a Muskegon Creek. We are Indians/Negros, they know Black has no standing in law so we have to stop using that as well. But it is a shame to try to take away our contributions which were way more than what they contributed to in this country. But that comes along with educating ourselves and not allowing them to tell us our story.
