[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] At our school - I am not sure they do anything specific for BHM. However, they did do some history around MLK day. [b]Our school is very diverse - we have an "international night" in the fall when all the different cultures can participate. [/b] [/quote] PP, at least at my school, International Night is when first-generation and second-generation immigrants to the US present their cultures. It's a bit problematic to suggest this in the context of African-Americans whose ancestors were forcibly brought to the US 200+ years ago, I think. But maybe I'm misunderstanding you.[/quote] At our school it isn't limited to recent immigrants. Perhaps it wouldn't be appropriate for OP - but I was trying to indicate that our school doesn't really push the different months (BHM in Feb, Asian American History Month in May, National Hispanic Heritage Month during the period from September 15 to October 15.)
