I teach them that our History is important and that we should remember,embrace,learn from and most importantly be better. So when their kids our older they can look at history and say wow look at what we've accomplished.

I thought why can't we celebrate and learn about Black History every month. Hell, not I'm a grownup and I still don't understand why we have one month to celebrate Amercian History (because Black History is American History). I like to learn about history every month.

Our American History includes Black, Native American, Chinese, etc History and we should treat each with the respect it deserves.

"I think the point of this story is Black history shouldn't be only one month but all the months."

I agree wholeheartedly.

Great post DJ. Very well said.

And that is why I said before in one of my previous comments that Black History it needs to be taught on a daily basis to black men, women, and children.

I don't care if America celebrates it because I know they are not. But black Americans should definitely be celebrating it and learning it 24/7.

This country is erasing our history from the text books Look at Texas school books. You can forget America picking up the true history of this country and running with it. So, get busy and learn it and celebrate it for yourselves.
