You don't need to dedicate a month to one race to teach people understanding and history about that race. I do agree, however, that history is important, for all races/groups.
What do you guys think of a month dedicated to ALL races. Just cultural/ethnic history month, or even just history month if you wanted to include other groups such as homosexuals. It would be a month that teaches understanding and history of people. There are plenty of other races out there, besides blacks, that also experience racism and misunderstanding.
I am not frowning upon teaching people the history of black people, I am frowning up how they are the only race that gets an entire month for their history to be taught. Either no race/group should get their own month, or 1 month should be dedicated to all races/groups. I wouldn't want it 1 month dedicated to each race, or even just 1 day, just one month for all races/groups.
