You guys all are missing the point entirely, I'm afraid. The learning history part of black history month is the least important part. As long as you're looking at it with a macro lens, you will continue to not get it. Put on the wide angle and you can see that black were legally sub-human until 1964. Black history month is a chance to try to fix that by showing great contributions of blacks to the US and the world as a way to try to impart some humanity and self confidence to the community while atoning for a former wrong in some small way.
