[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we should celebrate BLACK HISTORY MONTH by celebrating black CULTURE PERIOD. Black culture is not the "civil rights" movement. Black History did not begin in 1963 with the "I have dream speech" and end in 1968. Sooo many contributions giving to this country by black culture and black individuals that go beyond the Montgomery bus boycott. Even that story doesn't get told in TRUE detail[/quote] My child's school does BHM very well from what I've seen. They learn about the Harlem Rennaisance, black art, black music (past and present), and also discuss the civil rights movement, the Underground Railroad, etc. This is in addition to black history being interwoven into all social studies and history classes, and mostly through the lens of how black people experienced slavery, jim crow, civil rights. I think it's an important perspective. Fwiw, my child's school is almost entirely black. [/quote]
