I need some help. I have to pick a subordinate group and write a journal entry. I have to describe as if i were a member of that group, tell where the group originated from and so on. I chose to write about African Americans. I have found most of the information that I need. I just can't find where they originated from. I don't know if I am making it out to be harder that it is or what. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be greatful. Thanks

Most African-Americans originated in Africa. They were brought here as slaves in the 17th- through 19th-centuries. They lived in the Southern U.S., but some made their way North as free Americans.

Thanks a lot!!!Do you know of any good web sites I can explore?

This site has lots of great information about African-American history and culture.

This is my first time having to right a journal about a subordinate group member. I do not know where to begin. Can you tell me if my ancestry is considered subordinate? My dad is German and my mother French, Irish and Spanish from Spain. Would it be possible to find out about my dad's family when I only know some last names?

My dad divorced three times when I was growing up, so, I do not know my ancestry very well. My dad is eight years old and tells me that his great, great grandfather was called, Von Brause because of a medal he received from a brave act during war in Europe.

Thank you,
Beverly

Describe, as if you were a member of that subordinate group, where the group originated, how it came to the United States, and one or two locations in the United States where members of your group live
• Describe, as if you were a member of that subordinate group, where the group originated, how it came to the United States, and one or two locations in the United States where members of your group live. Be creative in your fictional descriptions, but accurate with your facts
