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 youElaine
