<human>:  What contributions do African Americans make to culture?
<bot>: Do you mean to say, what do African Americans contribute to culture? If so, you might consider reading about Harlem Renaissance literature, Quakers, and the founding of American universities and law schools. If you were trying to ask about more recent contributions, I could point you towards the civil rights movement and the “black power” movement, that featured people like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. If you’re looking for a specific example of something, I could describe how Dante A. Ruffin, the creator of water therapy, the idea that warm water soothes sore muscles, was a black scientist.
