I do feel that Black History Month is essential for our youth, but personally I do not like the term "Black History Month". Why you ask....because just like I tell my white counter parts, I am black 365 days a year, and this year 366 days a year.
I do particpate in the Black History Month things that we have going on at work. I am usually on a committee that is doing something and having someone brought in to speak. Also each year I send out Did you know fact black facts every day during the month. This is cascading through out the entire company.
