Casey Jones Lowe 4th Period 30 March 2017 Black History Month Black History Month makes us learn a lot about African American history right? Well, unfortunately you are wrong. Many influential people go unrecognized such as Robert Smalls because we cannot fit him like many others in the short month of February. Myself like many other Americans of all races and ethnicities believe that Black history month is an ineffective way to learn about all of the accomplishments of African Americans. We give the children and future of our country only a month to learn about all of these accomplishments. What is even worse is we do not even tell the whole story.

However, I do not find it fair to someone such as Mr. Smalls who did very important and courageous tasks to go unnoticed. Also, people who oppose Black history month may be on the side where they believe that Black history month does not help end racial discrimination but rather further supports racial discrimination. People such as Morgan Freeman call the month ridiculous (Goffe), Morgan being an African American himself also stated other phrases like , You are going to regulate my history into a month, Which month is white history month, and I don t want a black history month. Black history is American history (Goffe). However, Morgan is not the only one who feels this way. Many other Americans , and also African Americans agree with Freeman. If you give white history eleven months of the year to go through and learn about; how can you only give black history one month. Black history month is a month that makes it seem blacks are almost lesser because of their skin color once again.
