The two main reasons we don't know much about early African history is because Africa has never really had a written culture but rather passed down stories orally (through Griots). The other reason is that Africa has almost always been ruled over by Europe of Asia.

African American's have contributed to medical, scientific, educational, culinary and so many other areas of prestige in America. The focus on the History of black peoples is to commemorate a race of people who were brought to a foreign place against their will to be servants, only to eventually rise as intellectuals and make significant discoveries in the midst of suppression. It's America's way of saying "WOW" "After all of that" "You guys are still striving?" It's a way to respect, congratulate and acknowledge a people who have came through so much.

Through much of history, the Jews were too disenfranchised to create a country of their own.
Folk music and classical music is analogous to fables and written history. Folk music can be passed down through generations aurally, but never written down. Classical music, much like written history, has been formally published.
This may be hard to answer considering the lack of information on African Americans throughout much of American history, but the generally accepted answer is Madame C J Walker, a hairdresser and creator several African American hair products.
African culture (just as well as any culture) and the country along with other countries is essential to study because you learn so much about not only its history, but your history. It does not matter what race you are, your ancestors most likely "played a part", so to say, in this particular area of history. It's just like the African slave trade and Middle Passage. Not only are they interesting topics to know, but teach you some part (most likely) of your history. Any history, good or bad, is wonderful to know.
African Americans are important to US history because I think they went through so much doing slavery years, And still kept their heads up. And also they worked had to accomplish the things that they accomplish

1.8 amps of current passed through. I'm assuming you meant electrical charge however, in which case 1.8 A * 6 s = 10.8 C of charge passed through, where C stands for Coulombs. That is equivalent to roughly 6.74 X 1019 electrons passing through.

It depends on where your school is located. If your school is in Africa, then you'd be taught African history. If your school is in the United States, you're taught U.S. history. Possibly, later, you are taught European history because things that happened in Europe had the greatest effect on the United States. Because there is a finite amount of time to teach history, every country teaches local history first and non-local history only if there is time and money available. African history is usually a specialized study area limited to history scholars or persons who have direct reason to be economically interested in Africa. Not much of Arica's history has had a direct or major impact on U.S. history, other than the very major events relative to the slavery periods. But studying such history has very little attraction for most students ... unless, you happen to be of Afrcan heritage.
