Happy Black History Month List Members: I have a novel idea. What if here, in America, we simply tell and teach history as it actually happened. Just think . . we might not need to have a Black History Month observance at all!!
Why? Because everyone would know the contributions, struggles, complaints and victories that were made throughout the short history of this country and a picture capturing one of those moments in time would have context when and wherever someone sees it. Whoops - just forgot - that's not how things have happened in this Great Land. So, I guess we will continue to honor the experience of people whose cultural and ethnic ancestry is from the African continent by designating February as Black History Month. Peace, y'all.
