Stop Celebrating Black History Month
on Monday, February 14, 2022
Black History is not an “important event” or an “occasion.” Black history is intertwined and woven into the fabric of American History. Black history is not an addition to American history. The contributions of Black Americans should not be seen as a unique event. While the intent of Black History Month is to honor the contributions of Black Americans, the impact is trivialization. There is no “celebration” that can capture the contributions and experiences of Black Americans to this society.
