Is Black History Month a Problem?

Cynthia Tucker answers that question in the affirmative. "The history of America's black citizens cannot be segregated from the nation's history because black people have been here from the very beginning. The nation's past is one huge tapestry woven from the threads of many peoples, many cultures, many lives. From Crispus Attucks to buffalo soldiers to Tuskegee airmen to Ralph Bunche to Condoleeza Rice, the story of black Americans is America's story."
