Has Black History Month outlived its purpose?
It’s February! The time of the year when everyone in the country takes time to learn about the accomplishments of a half dozen or so important luminaries in the history of Black America. Besides being the month of celebrating love, the presidents, and hoping that a persnickety rodent doesn’t see his shadow, February is also Black History Month. But why on earth do we only have a month? Has Black History Month outlived its purpose?
This week Ron, JD, Yolanda, and several different guests share their thoughts and feelings. This will perhaps be the most important Black History Month podcast you listen to.
