Black History Month
Teaching Black History in Canada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU9Rzdix0XI
Have a discussion with this prompt, from the BC Black History Awareness Society:
Historian Carter G. Woodson: " If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated..."
However, Black History Month has its critics and has sparked debate about the continued usefulness and fairness of a designated month dedicated to the history of one race. Many people think that Black History Month furthers segregation, rather than distinction and should be integrated with the remainder of our collective histories.
