A celebration of black history...

Black History Month is supposed to be a time to celebrate the achievements of black Americans and to acknowledge the role that black Americans play in the history of our beloved nation. It should also be a time for African Americans to reflect and appreciate what their forefathers suffered for their present freedom.

A Celebration of Black History

As Black History Month comes to a close, it's interesting that my school has not done anything to celebrate Black History Month even though 99% of our student body is African American. It's also interesting to hear what some of my students think about important figures in the civil rights movement.

According to my students, Martin Luther King Jr. was an amazing person because he ended slavery.

Also, Malcolm X was a wrestler, and Martin Luther King Jr was killed by Elvis Presley.

 
Who knew slavery was abolished sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. 

The struggle is real...
