To counter negative stereotypes (APEX)
The Library of Congress showcased an exhibit at the Paris World Fair in 1900 called "Presentation of Negro Life and History," which aimed to challenge negative stereotypes about African Americans. The exhibit featured photographs, documents, and books that highlighted the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. By presenting a more accurate and positive representation of African Americans, the Library of Congress helped to combat negative stereotypes and promote a better understanding of African American culture and history.

To fight the racist idea that Africans were primitive
Stereotyping of African Americans has perpetuated negative biases and discrimination, leading to systemic inequalities in areas such as education, employment, and housing. Stereotypes can also affect self-esteem and well-being by perpetuating harmful assumptions and limiting opportunities for personal and professional growth. Addressing and challenging stereotypes is critical to promoting equality and justice for African Americans.
