Black History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements made by black people and to learn about black history. In the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, Black History Month is in October, but in the United States, Canada and Germany, Black History Month is celebrated in February.
In school, we learn about important people like leaders, scientists, writers and artists. Often, the stories of important black people don’t get as much attention. Black History Month helps us learn about the contributions (贡献) and achievements that black people have made in the past. In every part of history, black people have been treated badly because of the colour of their skin. This is called racism (种族歧视). Black History Month is a time to understand why it’s important to treat everybody kindly, fairly and with respect.
During this special month, schoolchildren do many different activities to help them understand and appreciate (欣赏) black history and culture. For example, they read books and learn stories about black people who have done amazing things in the past, like fighting for civil rights. Other activities include things like listening to music, watching plays or films, looking at art or reading poems that come from black cultures.
