Black History Month Closing.....
Today is 2/28 the last day of black history month for the year 2013. #DidYouKnow Black history Month was literally just 1 week ? There once was a week in February dedicated to Negroes known as "Negro History week". This was a short period to reflect on what you've learned over the past year. A man by the name of Carter G Woodson is the reason we have Black History Month. He figured since Frederick Douglas and President Lincolns birthday were both in the month why not dedicate an entire month to the history of Negroes. "If you start from slavery , everything from that point seems like a accomplishment"-Carter G Woodson This entire theory of having one particular month set aside to discuss the history of Negroes is a very touchy issue. If February is BLACK HISTORY MONTH, what are all thee other 11 months WHITE HISTORY MONTHS? That's a reasonably question. It's only right why single out one race and not separate or single out them all.
