Case: Why No White History Month?
It is the month of February again, and I am very excited about the Black History month. As a young African American elementary school teacher, I make sure that I fully take advantage of the Black History month in my lessons with my 5th graders. Yesterday, we were talking about important African American political figures, who made life better for all Americans. During this lesson, one of my students raised her hand and asked why there was no "White History month?" "Were White Americans not as important?" I did not have a good answer to her question. I must be doing something wrong to have a student feel this way. How would you answer this question? Do you think it is problematic to integrate African Americans to all my lessons during February? How can I fix this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not think you are doing anything wrong by integrating African Americans into all of your lessons in February. I do think that you should make sure that you have opened up with political leaders of all races and what they have done. I also think it is important to talk about the hardships that not only African Americans faced, but Native Americans and Hispanics also. |
