Overview
Audience language helps visitors find the right learning path. It should never become a status claim. The site can say it is built first for Foundational Black Americans, with paths for White Americans and all Americans, while also stating that it does not certify identity, ancestry, tribe, nationality, DNA conclusions, legal status, descent, or membership.
What this helps you learn
- SEO language helps readers find relevant educational material.
- Audience labels help organize pathways and expectations.
- Identity-certification disclaimers protect readers, contributors, and the project.
Careful claims
- Do not use audience keywords as proof of belonging.
- Do not treat a page visit, contribution, family story, or DNA lead as certification.
- Do not place stronger claims on public pages until owner/source review is complete.
Research path
- Use audience language in titles, descriptions, introductions, and learning-path sections.
- Use disclaimers near forms, Fact Checks, and identity-sensitive pages.
- Use Source Review when audience language appears next to historical or family claims.
