Freedom

Black History Month teaches everyone what the African-Americans had to overcome. Being kept against their own will, forced to work day after day, and sometimes even mistreated is what the African-Americans were put through during slavery. It shows us that we should love each other. It shows us also what the African-American's ancestors did to make a better life for the the future African-Americans. Black history is completely positive in the world today, because it helps us realize that no matter the race we are equal. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for what he thought the African-Americans deserved, freedom.  He would be proud if he knew we had a month dedicated to celebrating the freedom of the slaves.
