The longer we differentiate Black History from American History the more we diminish the contributions made by Black Americans throughout history. Black history isn’t a subsidiary of US history. Black history IS American History.

Today a student asked me: “why did you decide to become a teacher?”. I took a second and asked the entire class “how many black male teachers have you guys ever had?”. The class looked around and agreed zero. I responded “that’s why” and we got back to our Jamestown PowerPoint
