ICYMI: Black (American) History Month is Not about Africa
Clarifying the Origin and Purpose of Black History Month
Black History Month is a time of high regard for the United States. Yet every year, some organization or governmental body wets the bed in their efforts to “honor” Black History Month.
In week one of Black History Month 2023, the “What The Actual F* Award” goes to The City of Miami Florida.
In their unveiling of an African-themed police cruiser, Miami showed an absolute ignorance of the two-fold purpose of Black History Month.
Who is leading these DEI planning meetings?
Several Twitter users properly captured the utter disbelief about the city’s tone deaf “celebration” of Black History Month.
