Despite the fact that February has been black history month for 45 years, many whites only learned what Juneteenth is within the last two year.
The Tulsa race massacre has not been taught in US classrooms, at least not to white children until only recently. Personally, I only learned about it last year. (Many blacks didn’t learn about it until recently)
The fact that Woodrow Wilson invited the KKK to the White House is still not broadly taught.
Despite growing up in Boston, I didn’t learn who W. Monroe Trotter was until last year.
Based on all of this, we may need two months of black history annually to catch up.
The purpose of black history month is to try to face racism head on.
It’s not racist.
