Why Black History Is Important
Content: We as a country and a community need to do better with teaching and having conversations about the wonderful multicultural country we live in. I’m a proud Canadian and I want to have the opportunity to learn about the history of this country. The history that we are taught should not be a one-sided, watered down and edited version. With someone deciding what we, the next generation of students, are able to learn. Someone is deciding for us and denying us the opportunity. It should be, and needs to be, more inclusive. I’ve been advocating for Black history to be mandatory in our local schools. Black history is important for many reasons; it teaches us that no matter what obstacles that you face, no matter what people try to force you to be, no matter what ‘chains’ are placed around your ankles, it is possible to overcome and rise above it. To break free from low expectations that society may have.
