A World Without Black History
YouTube, February 3, 2016
It’s Black History Month! And while most people take this opportunity to learn about and reflect upon the accomplishments and struggles of African-Americans, plenty more choose to criticize the annual celebration. What many fail to realize is that black history is largely overlooked within the broad scope of American history, and the purpose of Black History Month is to spread awareness of this vibrant cultural past as well as black americans’ important contribution to the development of the USA as we know it. After all, without black history, America would be a very different place!
