Having taught history I safely can say Black History month takes less than an hour to teach if done correctly.
The rest of the month is repetition telling us how " little Kinesha" was the very first child in the family who graduated 2nd grade.
I think the idea of "Black History " month is silly.....
but having said that, let's face it....we didn't learn very much about Black achievers when most of us were growing up...except maybe J. Robinson or GW.Carver......or a couple of others....
the fact is our societal image of blacks is a poor one...based on black athletes, black entertainers and black criminals....
today on Emerile Lagasse, he had a black chef on who creates and decorates cakes, and some of them go for thousands of dollars.....
now,what are the chances that she'll ever become the face of the black community?.....
