Thinking More about African American Society and Culture

I have experienced all three of these positive institutions, and all provide a great sense of belonging and positivity. The church gives Black people a sense of spirituality in a sense that everything happens for a reason and what you do when no one is watching is just as important as when everyone else is around. HBCU's and greek organizations is a great tool in leading our young black youth in the right direction and making them feel as though they are apart of something special. The leaders of all three, the church, greek life and HBCU's help the youth in broading their minds and opening doors for a better life by not only educating but also by creating job opportunites. A great positive that these institues possess is that they all remind and teach us about where we have come from and how to improve our situation as a whole, and as far as racism... it will always exist and the only thing to do is to use these sources as a positive and overcome something that all blacks have to go through at some point their life.
