The problem is it's presented without any context. Before February, black history isn't discussed. For nearly 30 days, it's all you hear about. When March 1 comes, it's as if nothing ever happened. It's a ridiculous cycle.
Traditional history is a part of our everyday lives.
Nobody beats you over the head once a year and forces names, dates and events down your throat. That's because we're gradually fed information about people such as George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. It comes so naturally that nobody labels it White History. The only problem is that plain history leaves out many of the contributions of black people. That's why Black History Month is needed.
