Making African American history a part of American history and not wash it down to one month of the year (shortest).After taking an African American studies course in undergrad, I still could not figure out why most textbooks took out huge chunks of history. Medgar Evers was never mentioned, the effects of segregation, redlining, sweeping details of Malcolm X’s death etc.BUT.During my AP US History class, “President Abraham Lincoln was shot in the head for his stance on slavery” etc. Why go over details of man who passed nearly 150 plus years ago, but we can’t go over what lead to Malcolm’s death?A lot of young African American men would be startled at the great lengths of what other leaders had to go through during segregation. Medgar Evers had to be ESCORTED to school at Ole Miss because of constant death threats and whites wanted this man gone dead from attending their school.This is just an example and persistency that isn’t emphasized at all in school. We always see Dr. King, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X, and a lot of people (even today) think it was a handful of people who risked their life for us.Mr. Evers’ actions warrant himself to be in every textbook in grade school across America and in college.It should be noted that White Supremacy is real, and has been around for a very long time and it won’t be going anywhere. It won’t go anywhere until you decide to learn about African American history. We’ve gotten the run down on “white history” from being tested about the “founding fathers,” WWII, Vietnam, and the Bill Clinton.Make black history month 365 days out of the year.
