Historical contributions of Black youth voices and actions are overlooked from many of the narratives of youth civic engagement (YCE) literature. Specifically, the histories and stories of African American youth in the United States and Black Caribbean youth in the Anglophone Caribbean. The shared socio and political obstacles these particular groups have encountered throughout history shaped similar paths for their involvement in civic society to address many of these social and racial injustices. The article's premise centers on the need for the YCE literature to acknowledge the historical civic contributions African American and Black Caribbean youth have made throughout history. Fundamental historical civic movements that were designed, developed, and supported by Black youth set the tone of Black youth's civic engagement throughout history. These were shaped and contextualized by three specific macrosystem influences (political suppression, institutional racism, and cultural oppression). When YCE scholars begin to make greater meaning of the foundations and critical work developed by Black youth civic activists, a more comprehensive field emerges. With the acknowledgment and inclusion of civic contributions created and implemented during historical eras, more profound meaning is gained of civic engagement among communities and people who have generally been disenfranchised. Coming to terms with their civic legacies developed from racial injustices provides a more comprehensive depiction of civic engagement as a field and body of literature.

承认黑人青年公民参与社会的历史贡献

青年公民参与（YCE）文学的许多叙述都忽略了黑人青年声音和行动的历史贡献。具体而言，是美国黑人青年和盎格鲁加勒比海黑人加勒比青年的历史和故事。这些特殊群体在整个历史过程中遇到的共同的社会和政治障碍为他们参与公民社会解决许多社会和种族不公现象塑造了相似的道路。本文的前提是，YCE文学需要承认非洲裔美国人和黑人加勒比青年在整个历史上所做的历史性公民贡献。由黑人青年设计，发展和支持的基本历史公民运动为黑人青年的运动定下了基调。在整个历史中都有公民参与。这些是由三个特定的宏观系统影响（政治压制，制度种族主义和文化压迫）影响和情境化的。当YCE学者开始对黑人青年公民活动家的基础和批判性工作有更大的意义时，就会出现一个更全面的领域。随着对历史时期创建和实施的公民贡献的承认和包容，社区和通常被剥夺公民权的人之间的公民参与获得了更深刻的意义。与因种族不公而产生的公民遗产相提并论，可以更全面地描述公民参与作为文学的领域和主体。制度种族主义和文化压迫）。当YCE学者开始对黑人青年公民活动家的基础和批判性工作有更大的意义时，就会出现一个更全面的领域。随着对历史时期创建和实施的公民贡献的承认和包容，社区和通常被剥夺公民权的人之间的公民参与获得了更深刻的意义。与因种族不公而产生的公民遗产相提并论，可以更全面地描述公民参与作为文学的领域和主体。制度种族主义和文化压迫）。当YCE学者开始对黑人青年公民活动家的基础和批判性工作有更大的意义时，就会出现一个更全面的领域。随着对历史时期创建和实施的公民贡献的承认和包容，社区和通常被剥夺公民权的人之间的公民参与获得了更深刻的意义。与因种族不公而产生的公民遗产相提并论，可以更全面地描述公民参与作为文学的领域和主体。随着对历史时期创建和实施的公民贡献的承认和包容，社区和通常被剥夺公民权的人之间的公民参与获得了更深刻的意义。与因种族不公而产生的公民遗产相提并论，可以更全面地描述公民参与作为文学的领域和主体。随着对历史时期创建和实施的公民贡献的承认和包容，社区和通常被剥夺公民权的人之间的公民参与获得了更深刻的意义。与因种族不公而产生的公民遗产相提并论，可以更全面地描述公民参与作为文学的领域和主体。
