Should we celebrate Black History Month?
In the past, it was beneficial to have divisions between groups; your neighbor group might want to kill you to take your resources (land livestock etc.). That's not the case anymore. People nowadays understand the value in working together whether it be in ranks at the workplace or overseas. History, by its nature, is divisive (due to authors' and interpreters' biases). It doesn't need us to tack more labels to it. I would advocate the months be split up by academic discipline; History month, Math month, Chemistry month, Agriculture month. etc. That way, we'd shape students and citizenry to be more well-rounded scholar-citizens.
