Apo we its. Fora letters Black history letter Sparks comments it has never occurred before but it was bound to happen. One of your letters irritated me so deeply that had to write a response. The letter came from a person who thought that Blac history month promotes Only Black and then the writer Stales that he can recall the treatment of Blacksin the 50s and the 60s. The writer then writes of How badly he fellas a human the writer the suggests the idea that Black history month should be named civil rights history month. The writer also stated that he can see the hostility in the eyes of so Many of the younger Blacks and that he feels that they have the Altitude thai it is of to Call a White Man but that it s a racial slur to Call a Black Man Nigger. This person appears not Only to have missed the whole meaning of Black history month but also pro Vides a Clear reason for the existence or the event. By admitting that he has the ability to see an attitude an hostility in the Eye of the younger Macks this person showed the readers of the paper that stereotyping an ignorance is alive and Well in the world today. One of the reasons thai Black history month exist Sis to help educate the masses that not Only did the Blacks totem severe injustices in the so and the 60s, they Are Stilt doing so today. I have the additional assignment in my unit As the equal Opportunity no and have been to the two week school in Vilseck. Unfortunately not every sol Dier gets the Type of training i received. All major minorities have a period of time set aside in Accord Ance with a 600-21, which is to be an Observance of a specific group s achievements and contributions in our society for All of us. The writer also stated that he thinks that when Blac commentators speak of reducing Black on Black crime that they mean that Blacks should go Mug a White. Chicanes or i feel very sorry for his person and 1 think that he she needs to see the commercial that plays from time to time on an. To this person i Send the main statement from that commercial thinking Tike this bothers you consider yourself a american. If thinking like this does t bother you. Consider yours f a Bogol Theodore a.

Throughout he history of America Blackshare always rallied to the support of their country. The first Man to die in the revolutionary War was a Black when Blacks were treated inferior while in branches of the military service they still respond Edlo the Call of their country. They simply ignored the fact thai they were housed in separate quarters an were not allowed to Dine with their while mate counterparts. The first Black pilots were trained at Tusk gee Institute because they were not allowed to do so in the Normal training programs of the military. They have fought bled and died along with their while male counterparts add have never stopped task themselves if they arc in fact americans or Black americans during Black history month we All get excited Bant the possibility to present to anyone who will listen our accomplishments As a race.

I Challenge any of the readers to Lake a textbook from your child or your neighbor child and locate the following information Alexander Dumas a Blackman wrote the famous Book the three Muske Teers Cleopatra the Queen of Egypt was a Blackwomen. The term the real was coined As a motivating phrase by sales people due to the inventions of a Black Man. Aesop the infamous fable Teller was a Black Man. The Rock of Gibraltar was named for a Black Man. The first University in Europe was founded by the Moon who Wen Black see our Black children read the same text books that your children do so consequently they ear of the accomplishments of whiles every Day. Is it so much to ask that we make available to our Chil Dren positive role models to pattern if we As leaders of the Black Community do not make this information available to our Black Chil Dren Many times they Are nol taught this critical children Are our future. They need to know that we Rise to the Call in the face racism and oppression. We endured 200 years of slavery but we have emerged a victorious race of people because we came from Good Slock. Our kids need to know that because we identify with our jewish brother Sand Sisters when we say never we refer to Black on Black crime we retrying to make our people sit up and take note of what we arc doing to each other. We do not advocate violence of any kind to any Given group of people As one of the people who worked closely with the Lack history committee i can assure you that we tried to tap All resources and races and get the involved in our Black history month programs.
