| 词汇 | african american |
| 词源 | African American. African American, a term many blacks and whites prefer as the name for blacks today, is not of recent origin and wasn’t coined in the North, as some people believe. African American did become common in the late 1980s but was first used in the American South some 140 years ago. Even before its birth, terms like Africo-American (1835) and Afro-American (1830s) were used in the names of black churches. |
