What I Wasn’t Taught In School: Black History Month!

There seems to be a lot you haven’t told us, and you shut down and hold back on the bold ones who stand against the way you’re trying to mold us.

Here’s a short spoken word film about a student who is frustrated at the repetitive black history teaching in schools. He believes Black History Month isn’t taught with as much depth and as much pride in schools and relays his thought to his teacher.  He questions why his school black history curriculum do not touch on influential people like Patricia E. Bath, King Musa I of Mali, Mary Prince, Sir Trevor McDonald, Ella Baker, Septimius Severus, Fuse ODG, Jamal Edwards, Garrett Morgan and Kwame Nkrumah.
