From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans, and formerly as American Negroes) are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa. In the United States, the terms are generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Most African Americans are the direct descendants of captive Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States, although some are—or are descended from—immigrants from African, Caribbean, Central American or South American nations. As an adjective, the term is usually spelled African-American. African-American history starts in the 17th century with indentured servitude in the American colonies and progresses onto the election of an African American as the 44th and current President of the United States—Barack Obama. Between those landmarks there were other events and issues, both resolved and ongoing, that were faced by African Americans. Some of these were slavery, reconstruction, development of the African-American community, participation in the great military conflicts of the United States, racial segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement. Black Americans make up the single largest racial minority in the United States and form the second largest racial group after whites in the United States. From Wikipedia under the

Mae Carol Jemison was a scientist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor in 1992. She was the first African American woman in space - she never went to the Moon. There has never been an African American (of either gender) on the moon. Faith is correct about Guy Bluford being the first African "American" in outer space in 1983 but the first Black man to go to outer space was actually a Cuban named Armando Tamayo - Mendez on a Soviet mission in 1980.

Natural hair performs better and is more manageable when maintained with natural products and I noticed that when transtioning my hair was easier to deal with when I used them as well. Deep condion your hair and do protein treatments every two weeks, every week do a hot oil treatment and massage your scalp. Get a scalp "grease" that does not contain petroleum and mineral oil but has natural oils in it like shea butter to apply to your scalp for growth. Mineral Oil and petroleum clog the pores and can inhibit growth so go as natural as possible. Stay a way from black hair care products in stores as they usually have mineral oil in them.
