Zitat des Tages über Schwarze Geschichte / Black History:
Jesus' birthday is commercialized, so of course, Black History Month is commercialized.
I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.
Black history isn't a separate history. This is all of our history, this is American history, and we need to understand that. It has such an impact on kids and their values and how they view black people.
The thing about black history is that the truth is so much more complex than anything you could make up.
If you only think of me during Black History Month, I must be failing as an educator and as an astrophysicist.
I do consider myself part of black history.
There was a manifesto in the late '60s/early '70s, and it basically laid out what 'black art' was and that it should embrace black history and black culture. There were all these rules - I was shocked, when I found it in a book, that it even existed, that it would demarcate these artists.
Black history is American history.
Black History Month must be more than just a month of remembrance; it should be a tribute to our history and reminder of the work that lies in the months and years ahead.
As we celebrate Black History Month we should be grateful for the achievements they made and inspired by their legacies to continue their work.
It is my hope that as we commemorate Black History Month in the future, we will continue to celebrate the many achievements and rich culture of African-Americans.
If people perceive 'Roots' to be a black history show, nobody is going to watch it.
We must never forget that Black History is American History. The achievements of African Americans have contributed to our nation's greatness.
Black excellence is a thing. People - from Beyonce Knowles to Venus and Serena Williams to folks you haven't heard of - are into it. It's less a movement than a standard: believers set the bar high not only for themselves but also for others who share their vision, especially when it pertains to black history, stories, and style.
