For hundreds of years, Black people had been enslaved and oppressed in the Americas, denied their history and identity. Thus, it was important to foster a collective culture heritage in which to take pride. It also made larger American society more aware of the gifts, perspectives, and struggles of African Americans. Finally, it laid important groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement several decades later.
