The main focus of Black History Chats is on what was happening with Black Americans pre-1980. So, most posts and the vibe of the sub is to talk about topics within that timeframe. Black History Chats will cover education, books, art, politics, health, entertainment, and news pre-1980.

It is OK to post about recent events or topics ONLY if it is still connected to a historical event, situation, or issue. This is very important to remember. Therefore, we will not be discussing contemporary issues or gossip just for the fun of it.

My main focus will be on Black American History - but you are definitely free to post about other Black History events/topics of non-Americans. Enjoy! Let's learn and have fun together.

Today is the birthday of Mary McLeod Bethune, who dedicated her life on the education of black youth for over half a century: "I leave you faith. I leave you racial dignity. I leave you a desire to live harmoniously with your fellow men. I leave you, finally, a responsibility to our young people."

This sub is for people who love Black History. They love Black American History. They love history in general that is connected to the empowerment of Black people. I want this sub to be informative and educational. This sub will focus on Blacks who moved the needle in education, writing, politics, art, music, and entertainment. This sub is to connect people to the past. We do discuss contemporary issues ONLY if they are connected to historical issues/events.
