With racial inequality still in question we must wonder are
months such as Black History and National Hispanic Heritage Month relevant in today’s
society? In an interview with 60 minutes Mike
Wallace, Morgan Freeman adamantly despised the fact that we still have a Black
History Month The video since its inception has gone viral with over 1 million
views to much delight and dismay. In the video Morgan Freeman expressed his opinion
by stating “you’re going to relegate my history to a month?” he continued “what
do you do with yours? Which month is white history month?” two questions, that
to many, certainly makes sense. Freeman then asked Mike Wallace, who is of the Jewish
faith, “which month is Jewish month?” to which Wallace replied “there isn’t one”
Freeman then asked “do you want one?” Wallace quickly replied with “no, I don’t
want one.” So does the question of race really need to be asked in this
globalized society? Or are we still stuck in the 18th century enlightened
era? What do our followers think?

ReplyDeleteSo long as Race enters significantly in the politics and decision-making of the Nations, the issue is still very much with us.
So long as the History taught in schools is not global and ethnocentric thee History Months have some validity.
