Basically they remind you every year, on that one month about slavery and all that stuff and talk about the struggles that afro-americans had to go through in order to get to where they are and what they have to do to be in a better situation in the future. Basically they're saying african history started with slavery, before that africans were in the absolute depths of savagery. They completely neglect that African history is much much much deeper than what has occurred the past 400-500 years ago.
