Black History Month

 

Why is Black History Month Important?

 Black History Month is important because it lets the black community be able to celebrate and to spread awareness. It also is important as a way of remembering the important people and events in history. LinCC has celebrated Black History Month by making Zoom calls with presentations, making films on race and identity and more. This goes to show the more we spread awareness of Black History Month, the more people will take action.

Hi, I am apart of LinCC!

Recently at school I have been learning about black history month. I have been learning about a very famous black man called Martin Luther King, he had a very difficult childhood because his house got bombed and he nearly died from it. He was a very loyal and kind person because he said Rosa parks another famous person could use his church for a black rights march. The reason Rosa is a famous person is because she refused to give up her seat to a white woman, later that day she got arrested and was took to jail. She said she was fed up of getting treated differently just because she was black. Sadly, Martin Luther King died at the age of 39 because he was shot in the chest.
