I'll define a word that is important to me, and African America.
IDENTITY:
In the context of Americans of unknown African ancestry, identity takes on tremendous significance. My defintion is: IDENTITY is that delineation of self and all others like you in such a manner as to narrowly circumscribe the common history, ancestry, experience, tradition, and heritage.
Notably both color and race are incidental to the defintion.
