20 Dec 2005 Black History Month: Making It Superfluous

While I appreciate the logic behind Morgan Freeman’s opinion of Black History Month, I believe the point of that particular commemoration is to make sure black history gets covered at all.

However, if we were to teach history (all history) rigorously in this country, which we do not now do, this special attention provided by Black History Month would become superfluous.

I vote for that option.
