Originating from the efforts of Carter G. Woodson, whose landmark dissertation ' The Mis-Education of the Negro' challenged the social structure of American education.

However, the white supremacist orientation of the United States makes it impossible for Black History Month to have any significant impact in the education of the masses.

Less than a month ago, an article was released stating by 2053, "Black households will have a median wealth of zero." In other words: half the population have less, the other half have more. Those people who have more are typically white people. If you don't see that as a problem, we probably shouldn't be friends. If you aren't willing to do anything about it, don't even acknowledge me when you see me in the streets. Word.

Wealth inequity is not a new phenomenon. Not only is it not new; the reper
