Black history should be taught every day

It’s another February and another Black History Month. Why is it that for black history we get only 28 days? Isn’t black history American history?
American history is taught every day in our schools, but black history is celebrated only once a year for 28 days.
Is that fair?
No, it’s not.
Of course, when the month is gone, black history will be too — until next year. That’s not right.
Our history should be taught every day in schools, just like American history. It should be celebrated as such.
Just saying.
