In the African American culture, families maintain a strong bond though many function like family reunions. Many acculturated into American “way of life”,disadvantaged due to poverty and lack of education,extended family important and elders hold highest respect, strong religious values, some believe in voodoo, witchcraft, some believe all animate and inanimate objects have good or evil spirits and some use folk remedies).
