Personally - I don't see why it is limited to a month or why we should be grateful that congress "upped" it from a week, or why there should be a continued decision about whether to make the the contributions of Africans to this country part of a comprehesive history. The disingenious nature of finding real solutions to this delimma spill over into all aspects of life in the United States, including the digital divide. It continues to be a point of shear frustration and irritation for me, to have to fight for what should be automatic. So I say, YES, the histories of all peoples who contributed to making this country should be included and not sidebar discussion held in February or around Cinqo de Mayo, or something else that limits or undermines the brilliance of the people and their contributions. But, the truth about the types and nature of all contributions should be a part of the discussion as well. Cynthia C. Laramore, Director A.C.T.I.O.N., Inc.
