Black History Month

 

“Black History Month: The celebration of Black History Month began as “Negro History Week,” which was created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator and publisher. It became a month-long celebration in 1976. The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.” https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/black-history-facts

Welcome to Black History Month everyone.  Another February has come and we have the opportunity to acknowledge our Black Americans that have done great things in history and continue to do great things.  Thank you to ALL our Black achievers.

However, many of other races ask why must we have a Black History Month or Black Entertainment Television?  Looking at my television in my home my cable line-up has approximately 583 channels on which ONE is dedicated to Black art, Black musicians, Black documentaries and Black achievements.  As I look at my calendar located in my home there are 12 months in which ONE is dedicated to Blacks and our History.  Is there something wrong with this picture? 🙋
