Here are some comments from evaluations forms completed by past students:
"This is a very informative course. I have gained a new understanding of Black History for which I am grateful."
"We built things, they found out. We forgot, they remembered and copied. Black History Studies remembered and told me. Now I can tell my children."
"Once again, i was presented with information that is not readily available or disregarded when our history is being presented to us. Well done BHS for the courage to give us the full picture."
"A positive experience, left me thirsting for more."
"I am glad to have taken this course as I discovered some things totally unknown to myself and to other scholars. I will keep and cherish the good memories about it and will pass on the knowledge to others."
