Of course BHM is still relevant. Click here to read my blogs on Why Black History Matters. I welcome your comments on my blog.
As long as we don't know our history, we need Black History Month/African Heritage Month. To understand why Africa and African people are in the position we occupy in the world today, we need to understand the historical context.
