COLUMN: America needs a return to the real Black History Month | Opinion
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on March 1, 2024
I miss Black History Month. Ever since 2020, when George Floyd’s murder plunged us into America’s “racial reckoning” — the real Black History Month has been missing in action.
Around the turn into the 20th century, Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee University, said, “You go to school, you study about the Germans and the French, but not about your own race. I hope the time will come when you study Black history, too”. It feels like that time is past.
For in 2024, we only study Marxist tropes pretending to be about Black . . .
