As a concerted effort Black History Month (BHM) is okay, but, as in other matters, we don't do enough at home to take it past 28 days every February. I'm generalizing a bit and apologize to the GC teachers for doing so, but it seems the school BHM units don't go a whole lot beyond MLK, Rosa Parks and Freddie Douglas. No disrespect to the big 3 but we're so much deeper than that.
But on the flip side, "we" lose our dang minds when Ludacris gets kicked off a Pepsi commerical or someone takes a shot at a legend (i.e. Barbershop 1); which suggests to me that we're not doing a whole lot of educating our children on black history anyway.
