The Psychological Residuals of Slavery
As internationally acclaimed family therapist and educator Kenneth V. Hardy observes in this compelling video, slavery remains a "contemporary ghost" that shapes African Americans' self-image, their relationships to one another and their relationships with White Americans. Behind a backdrop of powerful historical and contemporary imagery, Hardy clearly demonstrates the importance of recognizing and openly addressing the past, and lays the groundwork for genuine dialogue, understanding, and healing in clinical environments, classrooms, and other settings.

This video is a catalyst for discussion, a tool for beginning to move toward a more promising future by honestly confronting this deeply significant and painful aspect of our collective past.

Teens Who Hurt: Clinical Interventions to Break the Cycle of Adolescent Violence
I appreciate Dr. Hardy's leadership and work in this area. Yet, it is crucial to note that ( see video) African-American racial identity was FORCED upon them by the brutal and tragically oppressive chattel slavery system. Consequently, we were not "first" Negroes. The oppressors told us we would be known as Negroes. Our true identities resulted in pervasive powerlessness, extreme vulnerabilty and many other unique forms of traumatic response. Even so, our struggle for authentic Identity continued to evolve in spite of this global tragedy. In summary, the terms Afro-American and Black have been used concurrently in the 70's and 80's giving way to the use of African-American and/or Black people in the 90's to present. Exact language and historical accuracy as we continue to analyze this American saga is required for validity.
