“Black history is American history.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Now all we have to to is get every history teacher in the United States to realize this.
Mike Wallace, like most Americans I know, doesn’t understand why some blacks don’t like Black History Month. As Freeman explains in the interview, he doesn’t see why a month of history should be set aside for people of a certain skin pigmentation.
It’s the 21st century and why is it that a white man is just “a man” in American and a black man is a “black man?” The sooner we stop with these labels the better for everyone. I say abolish Black History Month.
