Do I know enough about me?

This week in class we watched the movie "The Debut" in a particular scene the whit husband of a Filipino woman seemed to know more about their culture than the Filipinos. Not from experiencing their culture first hand and learning it that way but he had educated himself with facts. That led me to ask the question "Do I know enough about me?" Of course I learned about influential African Americans who did things first or were a benefit to my race but do I have enough facts? Often times the scholars of the African American diaspora or the African American experience are not of my race. So why are there not more scholars on my culture by people who have lived and experienced it and not just read a book? Not that others don't have the right to explore my history but the fact that as an African American man I should do more to explore and understand my own history and culture.
