The celebration of Black History Month will keep young adults informed of Black history in the US as schools start to ban the teaching of such topics. The debate of teaching critical race theory is being tackled in state legislatures. Discussions of CRT are crucial to understand the reasoning for President Ford’s creation of black history month, as topics discuss the history of racism and prejudice in the US.
