IMO, Black History Month has done nothing but provide institutions with a way to gloss over their usual discriminatory practices by providing them with a vehicle for false advertising.
In other words when you see those corporations with their "celebration" ads, take them with a grain of salt. Those who really believe in diversity don't need BHN to convince anyone.
And as Chaos said, Black History should be celebrated and taught for 365 days.
