Copied from my Facebook account:
February is the month that we can count on learning about and hearing about more Black stories than any other part of the year because our education curriculum has omitted it. This video does a great job explaining this. I am also of the opinion that we shouldn't have a Black History Month however, until we get a sufficient replacement, that's what we have.
So throughout this month, I plan to post videos and articles to show more of Black history than Slavery and Martin Luther King and the usual people and events we hear about. Any time this effort has been given traction it gets slammed down. I hope moving forward in 2021 we can finally rewrite the history curriculum to include people of color to show their contributions and struggles because it makes up this messy yet beautiful tapestry of American History and deserves to be recognized.
