Is Black History Month Still Needed?
The question has recently come up about whether Black History Month is still needed or not. That question shouldn’t even be asked. It is a time when we learn about black leaders in history. It’s also a very important time of the year. To me Black History Month is still very much needed, because we as blacks should have a certain time period set aside where we can learn more about our history, also because the younger people need to know that the world wasn’t always like this.
One reason we still need to celebrate Black History Month, is because we as blacks should learn more about our history. This is the only time when some people try to learn more about African American history. Daryl Michael Scott,

President of The Association for the Study of African American Life and History states that “You need a Black History Month, because it’s getting to be the case that it’s the only American History you’re going to get in this society.”
The second reason why I think Black History Month is still needed is because the younger generation needs to know that the world wasn’t always how it is now. They just live their life how it is and don’t know that it was always this good. They don’t try to listen to their teachers and elders. Most of them don’t know the actual facts. They don’t take the time to research, and look for background research. Younger people have an easy way of life and they need to be told the right stuff. They aren’t living in reality, they’re living in their fantasies.
In conclusion Black History Month is still needed because, we learn more about black history. Also more about black leaders and historians. It should continue to go on because the younger generation needs to know more facts and not go on through life thinking that it’s just peaches and cream. Also we as blacks need to expand our knowledge on what has happened.
