Is "Black History Month" still needed today? If its purpose is to educate/highlight the contributions of our history is it doing that? Or does it prevent our history from being intergrated into mainstream history lessons/classes because it fosters the belief that our history is only significant one month a year?
Let's discuss?
I myself as torn on this issue.
On one hand, I feel that our contributions and history should be acknowledged throughout the year and isolated to just one month. We are the backbone of American society, but yet our contributions are not even mentioned (even as a byline) in any discussions concerning US history until February? That's some bull.
On the other hand, I feel like something is better than nothing.
