Black History Month
02.28.08 (11:57 pm)   [edit]
I just saw a "Black History Moment" on TV.
A few thoughts:
It's nice that there is a Black History Month. That way they have their one special time of the year (notice it's the shortest possible month?) and we don't have to think about their specific contributions the rest of the year.

However, in May, will we have "Asian Heritage Moments?" I've never seen them.
American Indian History Month is ironically in November.
How about "GLBT History Moments?" in June October? Maybe on PBS. That is when I finally got to see my teacher's movie. I found out they moved the commemorative month from June to October because schools aren't in session in June. Well, now that they cleared that up, now all they have to do is get a homosexual tolerant curriculum widely accepted. Although they should have picked April; otherwise it gets lost in the kerfuffle of:

"Hispanic History Moments" between September/October are more likely to be seen since they are a strong "minority." But I do not remember any special lectures or reports I had to write on the topic.
I also don't remember being lectured on/asked to research any women during March.

Oh, well, maybe someday every group will have brief PSAs sponsored by McDonald's during their month too. Even at all that, it still leaves six and a half months for business as usual.

So, I leave you with this happy thought brought to you by The Guerrilla Girls

personally, i am waiting for "Grey Haired Older Catholic Women Who Are Way Stressed Out Day. it would be a child free day, with a spa treatment, lots and lots of good red wine, and constant music from the late 60's early 70's. the day would last about um...two years?
