[CASL-L] Cataloging and Race

[Elaine Shapiro]

Hi everyone,

I often add subjects to my catalog records in my elementary school library.
For example,  "multicultural" "African American"  "civil rights".  But, as
I learn more about race, I realize that African American is not an accurate
term for books about or featuring black people, because not all black
people in the US are from the US originally. Thoughts on better subject
terms?  "Blacks" "Black People"?

Thank you
Elaine
