April 12, 1961 marked the tightening of the tensions between African American slaves and the free white man. The American civil war was fought to keep the peace between the Industrial north and the rural south. The south decided to leave the Union out of the fear they would lose their economic power, the slave labor force. Eventually this fear would become reality four years later when they lost their fight. The slaves were freed and given the same rights as the white men and women living in America. The slaves, who have never been free before in their lives, didn't know or practice their rights to their full potential.

During the early days of Black History, African Americans faced many challenges such as unpaid slave labor, poor living conditions, and cruel treatment. Although these challenges were tough many did not give up hope of one day having a better life. It was there hope, dreams, and determination that kept their spirits alive on their worst days. Many slaves escaped the endless cycle of mistreatment on what was called the Underground Railroad. A former slave named Harriet Tubman made many trips on the Underground Railroad and freed over a hundred slaves. Often slaves would sing soulful spirituals like Swing Low Sweet Chariot to express their anger and hopes for a better life.

In the early 1960s, when both men entered the struggle for African American liberation, it were the factors that set them apart that shaped both their outlook and the way they contributed to fight for Black empowerment. While Malcolm rose to fame by means of fierce attacks on Whites, Carmichael participated in non-violent workshops to prepare himself for his participation in the Freedom Rides. The first time Stokely encountered Malcolm X in person was during an event at Howard University in 1961, where Malcolm and Bayard Rustin discussed their diverging ideas on the nature and the objectives of African American liberation.

Tradition stories have played a great role in the lives of many children worldwide. Traditional stories have always carried with its hidden meanings with each tackling a certain theme. The themes presented always refer to a certain period or a certain event in some place. The stories use different literary stylistic devices to hide some of the themes being presented or being passed to other generations. The oral traditions of African Americans were responsible for the creation of the stories. This is the language pattern and speech ways of African Americans slaves which are evidenced by the survival of West African beliefs (Flora and MacKethan 7). One of the stories that have been widely used today is the story Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings.

Abolitionists were also against slavery and always fought to free the slaves as well. Early abolitionist legislation included Congress prohibiting

African Americans are among many groups that immigrated to the United States.
