Ran across this article in emagazine About.com. Here’s what it said: Does the country still need to dedicate a month to learning about the contributions of African Americans? Has African American history now converged with American history, and, therefore, the celebration should be eliminated. Morgan Freeman, a long-time critic of the holiday, strongly believes that Black History Month is not just unnecessary but ?ridiculous.? According to Freeman in a December 2005 60 Minutes interview, black history should not be relegated to a month. In fact, argues Freeman, Black History, after all, is American history. So what do you think? Is Black History American History and why do we or don’t we need a month set aside for it…What about Japanese History Month? or even better Indian History Month I mean the settlers wiped them out and took their land.
