THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH: REMEMBERING GONE HEROES ABRAHAM LINCOLN, MALCOLM X AND FREDERICK DOUGLASS
T
he month of February marks America’s Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month. It’s as much about showcasing black history as it is about celebrating black excellence. It also marks a time for remembering, recognizing, and cementing the nation’s longstanding and under-represented black history, and a time to honor the role and achievement of the people of color. When it comes to pioneers in African-American history, some are pioneering heroes known to all for their great contributions, such as Abraham Lincoln, Malcom X, and Frederick Douglass.
