In today’s podcast we will be reviewing an article by Johnathan Franklin it’s titled “ Here’s the story behind Black History Month- and why it is celebrated in February”. In this article Franklin provides background information on black history and why it’s celebrated in February. Many believes black history should be celebrated and taught throughout the year instead of one month. I think this article is successful do to the fact that it is grabbing the audience attention because of the author tone and the way he uses rhetorical device throughout the article. Is the evidence supported in the article? Does the author act different towards people outside of the African American culture because, they don’t know the meaning behind it ? Franklin goes on to mention that Carter G. Woodson is the father of black history and is the first person to set out in 1926 that promoted and educate people about black culture. What is your thought about black history should it be taught year round or just in the month of February? Do you think African American history received a honorable amount of representation in a one month time frame or should this be something that’s honored throughout the year?
