Dave Ackerman, goes to Brigham Young University to find out what BYU students know about Black History Month.

Please watch the video and she what his finding were.

Did it bother you that he was in "Black Face" asking if people knew when Black History Month is?

What was shocking is that no one answered with confidence actually knowing that Black History Month is in the Month of FEBRUARY! I personally feel that there is not a need for a "month" but the fact that decedents of Africa were stolen and sold to be enslaved and that is GLOBAL history.

Once we stop dancing around the fact that SLAVERY HAPPENED and one of America's Biggest Black Eye, we can have a REAL conversation about the men and women of African Decent are part of America's History.

Many have created , then innovative inventions that are the birth of many things we use today, the street light, the refrigerator, light and the list goes on.

A little know facts like Allensworth is the only California community to be founded, financed and governed by African-Americans. Created by Allen Allensworth in 1908, the town was built with the intention of establishing a self-sufficient, all-black city where African-Americans could live their lives free of racial discrimination. and Scientist and mathematician Benjamin Banneker is credited with helping to design the blueprints for Washington, D.C.

Is there a need for Black History Month? I say it is American, South American, African, etc. History.... Period!
