Black History Month

 

You might remember that last year around this time, I found a mural similar to this one featuring three very talented and accomplished people who I had not heard of before.  You can see it here.  I recently found another similar mural, this time featuring three very well known and loved people.  February is Black History Month here in the U.S.  It's a perfect time to reflect on the many accomplishments that are sometimes overlooked.  

Taking part in Monday Murals.

Meantime the Arizona House of Reprobates wants to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory in our schools.

This one is well done.

I like it. I remember 40 years ago at a Black History Month program, my boss gave a talk and stated that black history is not really taught in our public schools, so we needed this occasion to make up for that. I thought for sure by now we would’ve had a more even curriculum, but judging by the opposition to “CRT,” people are not going to allow it. I am very disappointed in people.

Black history is definitely worth looking into.
