Cultural pride is a vital element in the formation of one's identity and feeling of self-worth.
The images of black America as depicted in the mass media contribute little of a positive nature to young, impressionable minds. Until the history taught in our schools begins to relate accurately the contributions of all the nation's people, Black History Month allows us to remember that there is much for African Americans to be proud of, whether reflecting on the past or looking toward the future. We have come a long way as black people striving for equality. I truly believe that one day all nationalities will be able to live together as sisters and brothers. Sammy's I don't think you can take just one month and say this is the month for blacks and then from February until next January forget about it.
