In one of my courses today, we spent a significant amount of time talking about the importance of Black Americans in United States History and this got me thinking.
Some of the topics that were covered could have been covered on any other day of the year, but for some reason, teachers and professors at all levels feel the need to show us how important these people really are only during a 4 week period.
Is there a specific reason why we still need to celebrate this 'holiday'?
In 2012, you would think that we could drop all these titles and just celebrate "American History."
How you do you guys feel about this?
Let's keep discussion mature.
