Black History Month must be more than just a month of remembrance; it should be a tribute to our history and reminder of the work that lies in the months and years ahead.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is my hope that as we commemorate Black History Month in the future, we will continue to celebrate the many achievements and rich culture of African-Americans.
As we celebrate Black History Month we should be grateful for the achievements they made and inspired by their legacies to continue their work.
The problem with relegating black history to one really short month, the shortest month, is not only are we telling the same stories over and over again - which are amazing, George Washington Carver is incredible, there's nobody like Frederick Douglass - but there are so many.
We must never forget that Black History is American History. The achievements of African Americans have contributed to our nation's greatness.
Black history is American history.
We have a legacy to uphold: the people who died so that we could have the right to vote; the people who sacrificed so that we would one day realize the dream of a black president.
Generally speaking, we as black people have been celebrated more for when we are subservient when we are not being leaders or kings or in the center of our own narrative driving it forward.
If you only think of me during Black History Month, I must be failing as an educator and as an astrophysicist.
Jesus' birthday is commercialized, so of course, Black History Month is commercialized.
I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.
