<p>If that’s your interest, then go ahead 
Career? Maybe a teacher or a professor in college? I don’t know honestly but if African American history is your passion, then go for it.
Also, consider listening to emmele. While studying a subject you are passionate about is important in college, take into consideration your career after college.
I am black, and like Emmele stated, we cannot afford to “explore” in college as other races would. Realistically, we still are not perceived in the exact same light as other races. We are not in antebellum America or the period of segregation, but we are also not in heaven either. In practice, no two men in this world are 100% equal. Maybe minor in AA studies? </p>
