Hi Folks,I'm Hoboclown.Flash Mc Cool has been busy investigating one small feature of Black History Month and this is what he has to say: "I've been trying to figure out where the concept of Black History Month came from .Through my methodical approach, I came upon a website with information copyrighted by Dr. Karen Carr,Associate Professor of History,Portland State University- http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/africa/history/index.htm At that site,Dr. Carr details Early African History in a section entitled, Kidipede-History For Kids:Early African History. As I suspected for a long time, Black History Month (in the USA) has been preceded by some 60, 000 years of African History. The web masters at that site tell who they are and even offer Teacher Guides for teaching History of many ethnic groups. They reportedly get 22,000 visitors a day.Sounds like quite a big interest group to me! As for the compression of 60,000 years of African History into one Black History Month, just think about all the dreams that our African ancestors have had over the past 60,000 years !." ____________ Well, there you have it from Flash Mc Cool. Have a great Black History Month! Signed, ~Hoboclown~ Copyright, 2007
