ProfessorTani D. Sanchez lectures at Black History Month kick off Feb. 1 in Loftin.
Education and religion were used
to justify slavery, professor says.
featuring art, sculpture, clothing and symbols depicting a rich cul-
ture and a spiritual society of sophistication and skills comparable
to that of any civilization at the time.
“When we think of pre-colonial Africa, we, as Westerners, think
that we are the ones that are providing, we are the ones who are
evangelizing, we are the ones who are teaching, and yet when you
know the culture, these people who were brought here as slaves
already had the ideological liberation of a culture with a past and a
Black History Month essay
contest awards prizes up to $400
for essays on any topic pertaining
to African-American heritage.
Deadline is Feb. 22.

“Who are African-Americans? Why a Black History Month? and
Why should we care?” a professor of Africana Studies posed Feb. 1.
to a packed Fiesta Room in Loftin Student Center in the kickoff event
for this college’s observation.
“Is it about our music, our inventions, civil rights or is there
somethihg more?” she asked.
It is this “something more,” said University of Arizona profes-
sor and researcher Tani D. Sanchez, that is the catalyst for a form
of liberation that has enabled African-Americans to overcome the
exploitation of their culture.
This thought must be emulated today for black history to tran-.
scend a single month and carry relevance in society year-round,
she said.
Sanchez was introduced by President Robert Zeigler, who echoed
her sentiments by saying that Black History Month should not be
thought of as a separate history.
“Black history is American history’ and American history is black
history, and the two are intertwined in ironic and tragic ways,” Zeigler
said.
Sanchez suggested that the lack of relevance black history has in
some lives correlates to the incorrect assumption that black history
began on a slave ship to the Americas.
“If you’re going, to understand black history, you must under-
stand that we came from somewhere: Africa,” Sanchez said. “More
importantly, we did not have people coming into this country as
slaves without preset skills or beliefs.”
Sanchez supported her assertions with a slide show of images

memory of themselves,” Sanchez said.
Slaveholders used education and religion to convince themselves
and society that slaves were less than human.
Coming from a liberated, culturally rich society, slaves had to
lose their sense of self through physical and mental domination.
“There were philosophers during this era establishing ency-
clopedias extolling the lack of artistry and culture that Africans
had even to the point
of not being human,”
Sanchez said.
“There were church-
es preaching sermons
claiming God intended
for these human beings
to be their servants,”
she said.
“This is how exploi-
tation works, and this is
the value of looking at an African-American people during African-
American History Month.
“Not because you are looking at me or my ancestors, but because
you are looking at humanity and understanding how it is that people
being monetarily enriched through an exploitative system could buy
into it even if that system was completely inhuman.”
The relevance of this history is prevalent in a discussion about
the nature of slavery Sanchez had with a student back in Arizona
before her arrival at this college.
“In defining slavery as a coerced labor that is inadequately com-
pensated, a student of mine responded by saying, ‘Well then, slavery
exists today doesn’t it? There are people not being paid what they
should be paid. There are sweat shops all over the world,’ and I said
‘yes, you’re getting my point exactly,”’ Sanchez said.
Month reminds society of rich culture of African-Americans, professor says
