So trying to figure out what's included, what's not, is it all inclusive, who got left out, is it recognized more than the next . . . that's all absurd, too. I mean, think about it: we are designating months to learn about folk that should just be included in the American History book anyway. I know you are not trying to gain an understanding on something so FUBARed in the first place.
