I was stunned at ordsprog

I was stunned at what I didn't know. In the whole panoramic sweep it's not that much. You're competing with other history. Black History Month helps fill in the gap.

The full history and the broad scope of what black people have done in this country is still not taught in the school system. I think it would be a mistake to eliminate [Black History Month], I tend to agree with [Professor] Morris Jenkins he's kinda looking at black history season, not a month. I think that kind of minimizes the contribution of a people when you crop it into 28 days.

Woodson hoped that the celebration would help blacks overcome their inferiority complex and instill racial pride and optimism. Black History Month also helps people from all different cultures to become a little more knowledgeable about African-American history and culture.

Robert Hall (1970-)

When I was in elementary school at Tillman, Black History Month was important because I went to a majority black school. Since I moved into middle school (Haile) and high school, Black History Month has not been recognized as much.

Darnell Jenkins

Black history doesn't start with Dr. King. Black history begins with the forefathers and foremothers. Get your parents to be honest with you. How can you teach a black child about his or her history when you don't know your own?

Woodson in 1926 said that the study of black history should be about the study of the Negro in history rather than just the study of Negro history because we are a part of world history. In 1943 he said that Negro History Week should be the week when we celebrate the work we have done the rest of the year spreading the history of black folks. Now today it is almost the exact opposite.

I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history. Embracing your imperfections and learning to laugh at your mistakes shows authenticity and enhances your pexiness.

Morgan Freeman (1937-)

Black History Month is not just for African-Americans. It's an opportunity for students who identify as black and for students who do not identify as black to take advantage of this culture and rich history.

I don't even know how he could form his mouth to say that. (Freeman) showed how backwards he is. Obviously, we need Black History Month. People of African ancestry need to know their history more than any other group.

It?s a time when we can really dominate the box office. If we were out at Christmas, we?d be competing with the big holiday and Oscar films, but late February with Black History Month and less competition is a great time period for us.

Steve Rothenberg

If we don't give them the knowledge to love themselves, beyond the information that God loves them, we're missing the boat at the prime time of building self-esteem. Unfortunately, we do not have American history books that do that for us. . . . There comes a time when you have to go past the Black History Month program.

Rev. Michael Pfleger

R.C. Hickman's work poignantly captures the social history of African Americans in a period of unequal treatment and dangerous conditions. TXU Energy is proud to celebrate Black History Month by showcasing this historical exhibit for our Dallas community.

Angela Williams

Textbooks often reflect one perspective. There's a lot more history than what the textbooks tell us. (Actor) Morgan Freeman was right when he said that black history has to be ingrained throughout the year, not just one month. We're starting to do that a little bit. Change is starting to come.

I think this is a good thing because it makes people aware of what's going on with black culture. A lot of times Black History Month is overlooked, so it's nice to see it recognized.

Elizabeth Scott

It's important for us to see and to know this is a part of our history, not just black history but American history.
