African-American Baby Names
The African-American culture has many baby names that are worlds away from the oft-used monikers like Dick and Jane. After losing their traditional African names and taking the names of their slave owners, African-Americans dealt with racial discrimination by choosing common names to help them fit in. That ended with the civil rights movement, when they began to choose names more reflective of their individuality, their culture and their faith. Syracuse University professor Boyce Watkins says, “Afrocentric baby names are a wonderful way to provide a daily cultural reminder of your child’s roots.”
