Black History Month People - People of Color Discuss Black History Month
If
you look everywhere around you (Black History Month People) it's kind of like what James Brown said was that
every piece of music after him you could hear a little bit of James Brown
that's like black history in a nutshell I think black history is so important
because it's kind of like your time to be celebrated there should be a month
where we celebrate amazing leaders that fought for freedom for everybody it
gives a more complete picture of the history of the United States Black History
Month means people can overcome a lot of sad oppressive things and come out
being big and beautiful and shine right through it's the story about civil
disobedience it's about people grabbing power the first book I ever read where
I was like I relate to this so much was black boy by Richard Wright it was
about like poverty and struggle.

And
trying to overcome obstacles and that was the first time I was like wow
learning about hip-hop when I was young graffiti I'm seeing decaying breaking
without that I wouldn't be who I was today black folk in America came over and
chips look at the way that you came in but you look at yourself now and you're
like whoa we are blowing up do I listen to those stories and identify with them
regardless of what color I am yeah and I think it's important for everyone to
hear this I think of black leaders such as Angela Davis I admire them I read
all their books and life you know it's like we're crossing rivers and we're
crossing borders and we're in the back of cars sometimes to get here and it's
almost like well I look at them like we can do it too just close your eyes and
listen to the stories and you Will relate because they're American stories.
