Hi, fellow classmates!

This is my blog for HST 498: Europe and Africa: Africans in Europe with Dr. Barnes. My name is Kelly Allen, and I am a history major. After one last class in summer school I plan on being a college graduate, which is very exciting for me. I have taken several history classes with various focuses, many of which I really enjoyed. Although it does seem like a lot of work, I am hoping that this class is as interesting as it sounds. Of all the history classes I have taken, not one involved Africa, so it will be a new topic for me to learn about. Creating and maintaining a blog is also going to be a new experience for me, so I hope everyone bears with me!
