Why Black Innovators?
Many people wonder why we celebrate Black History Month. The reason is simple: because Black history is American history. Black people have been in America since well before its founding, and have been involved in every part of it. Black history is vast and varied, just like the history of every group, and simplifying it to just the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement flattens it, and cheapens the massive impact that Black innovation and creation has had on America and the world.
