This is American History month.

It is also Black History month.

The two coincide, so it perhaps should just be "study up on history of all sorts " month. It seems somehow more politically correct to mention Black History month in some circles. It probably has a lot of other designations as well.

To be fair, of course, many old history book represent just "white" history - in fact, just "dead white guys", and people of color felt that huge parts of their ancestors history in this country were being left out of classroom instruction. Frankly, I learned more about history at home than at school anyway, but my family just isn't normal.
