In washington, d. C. , and Edwin Henderson is founder and president of the tenner Hill Heritage foundation. Welcome all of you. Thank you. So, why nearly a century after carter g. Woodson, the africanamerican historian established it, are we still debating whether or not we still need black History Month . Well, i think because america really has not fully embraced the contributions of africanamericans. Its the reason why we have to still have this celebration dr. Woodson started in 1926. We are still making history. So were still worthy of study, were still worthy of research and dissemination about our contributions. And its still very important for us. Dr. Whitehead, do you agree with that, and do you think anyone cares about black history other than black people . Well, thats a big issue. I think its important that we still celebrate black History Month. When i travel around the country, if we didnt talk about black history during black mandated, people would not discuss it at all.
