I’m in 8th grade, and my history teacher assigned us an assignment for Black History Month where we pick 4 out of 16 videos/articles where we had to do 3-5 sentences on what we learned. And one of them that I did was History of Black History Month and I learned why it is in February and the history behind it which I found quite cool

I didn’t know that Canada and the UK also observe a Black History Month! I’m so glad you’re making longer videos on RU-vid now ✨❤️

I didn't know that Black history month is in October in the UK - it's also in February here in Canada! I'd been curious because I've seen a museum curator on Twitter talking about LGBTQ history month and not Black history month - turns out he's based in the UK, and the months are swapped! In Canada, LGBTQ history month is in October. Also, I didn't know why February was chosen - thanks for teaching me! :)

There is no lgbtq history month, and it's unnecessary to have something so stupid.

What is some good content for my 2nd and 4th grade girls to learn and read this month? I try to keep our personal library pretty inclusive but would love some recommendations.

Love the longer format! I learned that different countries have their Black History months at different times.

And all this time I thought we were just given the short end of the stick lol this reason for it being in February makes more sense

I think I might be a bit dyslexic bc I read “Get blacker” in the title 😳

Okay, I haven’t even watched the video yet, but I feel slightly offended that Jessica isn’t content with having *my* birthday month as their month. You’ve already taken so much away from me, oh my god, when will you be content! /lh /hj Edit: good video, btw. I *guess* I wouldn’t mind sharing a month with Jessica, but only if that woman gets her priorities under control! /lh

How about acknowledging blacks throughout the year? Also don't bring up lgbtq, it has nothing to do with this.

Blair why do you wear a potato sack on your head? Nation of Islam is not actually being a muslim it's just a nutty role play, in fact a jew made the whole thing up. PS there is no such thing as the mother plane.
