Question

5 Pros and 5 cons of black history month .

Answer 1

5 pros:

It is a way of remembering important people and events in the history of the African American group.

It is a time for celebrating and thanking African-Americans for giving hope and a life lesson that can be used now.

Emphasizes the Black Migrations movement of people of African descent to new destinations and new social realities.

It honors all Black people from all periods of history, such as enslaved people that were brought from Africa

Americans set aside a few weeks to focus historical hindsight on the contributions that people of African

5 cons:

It is unfair to devote an entire month to a single people group and not to other “minorities” and “oppressed groups”

It is reminds kids that the primary quest for black people is to achieve equality with (not including such as blacks MLK) whites ( Lincoln and more)

A celebration of Black History Month negates the need for more productive conversations about modern day inequality

It is clear that allocating one month to the topic is not satisfactory. American children need to receive holistic and integrated historical education that includes African Americans and more.


Black history is not a 300-year montage of inventions, laws and liberations. It is as complex as the history of any other group of people, and those other group of people need recommendations and acknowledgement also. The complexity is not as recognized.

Answer 2

Pro 1: Teaching kids about equality is harmless and beneficial to future generations

Con 1: To some people it's annoying to have ideas pushed on them and be expected to accept them

Pro 2: The blacks feel recognized

Con 2: It may lead to certain people (Trump supporters) feeling... unappreciated because "tHeRe IsNt a WhItE hIsToRy MoNtH"

Pro 3: It gives us something to do in February besides being single on Valentines Day

Con 3: It takes away the sense of accomplishment of being single on Valentines Day because we're too busy celebrating black people

Anyway that's all I have. Let me know if this helped at all.
