It’s Black History Month
And the thought that immediately comes to my mind is that I don’t know enough about Black history — which is really just History (American history and World history) that’s been marginalized (like Hispanic history, Asian history, etc.) — other than the obvious few that made it into high school history classes.
I realize that I don’t read enough books by Black authors. Though I do make an effort to include them in my reading and I love Toni Morrison and Gwendoline Brooks and Samuel R. Delany, but there are so many more great black authors to read.
Black History Month reminds me that culture and history gets erased everyday. And though a single month brings limited attention to Black History, it should really be remembered as a part of History as a whole, all-inclusive remembrance of the past without erasure.
Every month is Black History Month
Why Isn’t There a White History Month
Black People Get a Whole Month, What About Us?
