Why Black History Is Important
Content: 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. Black history teaches us about the positive contributions and accomplishments that people of color have made to this country, to this country’s growth and development. The importance of this history and its role in making Canada what it is today. Black history is important because it is not just for the comfort of people of colour, it has the ability to enable levels of understanding and compassion. People of colour are generally looked at differently. I think a big part of this has to do with the fact that we are only taught the negative aspects of Black history.
