Traditionally, a lot of that is covered throughout Black History Month has centered on the Civil Rights Movement, and for good reason. However, I think we as education publishers need to branch out from that to explore Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) representation in general. This needs to continue beyond the month of February. Of course it’s incredibly important to teach the heroes of the movement and recognize its tremendous influence in changing the direction of the country, but it’s also time to use that foundation to explore Black Americans’ impact on American history and culture in other ways, especially those figures who are underrepresented in the history books.
