Many Rivers to Cross
African-American history has played an integral role in the shaping of politics, economics, and culture in the United States. Growing up, how did you learn about the accomplishments and struggles of African Americans? Were you in a classroom? Reading a book? Talking with relatives or friends? How has your understanding or knowledge of African-American history changed and/or developed over time? What do you think is the most effective way to pass along this rich and growing history to future generations?

Ramone Smith

I was born and raised in Boston M.A. in the 60’s and 70’s respectively. I went to college and graduate school in the 90’s to study Sociology and Political Science.

I derive from a single-parent household in the Black ghetto and it was the Autobiography of Malcolm X that changed my thinking and my life. It brought me Black consciousnesses and social awareness. Right now I am college faculty staff member with a college in New York City and the author of African American Healthy Self-Esteem.

I was very inspired by Dr. Gate’s work and would love to meet and be featured on any of his future projects.
