The relevance of Black History month is something that wanes as the world becomes smaller—smaller in the expansion of communications around the world and the compression of biases through whole truths.

Black history month was something needed, as are all expressions of cultural identity to give fair foundation for the ladder of black accomplishment to lean upon.

In this great country there are truths that have been endowed to all men, but the recognition for the achievements that advanced this nation agriculturally, industrially,and culturally were caged away and left to starve.

This month is a tool of pride, a tool used that is similar to all groups of men who strive to leave a legacy for the children that they sow.

The need of black history month or the need to teach a more complete world history without the constraints of racism, is to include a fair detail of all people who have bettered this nation, a nation connected by the founding documents.

Not only concentrating on those who spoke and marched but those who wielded new inventions, planted new hopes, connected scars of the body that deemed impossible, and nurtured children who would later sit in these integrated classes to learn this complete history that was so desperately needed.
