According to the Wikipedia definition, "Black History Month is a remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the U.S. and Canada in the month of February, while in the UK it is held in the month of October." The remembrance was originated in 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson as "Negro History Week". Woodson chose the second week of February because it marked the birthdays of two Americans who greatly influenced the lives and social condition of African Americans: former Pres. Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Woodson also founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Black History Month is to recognize significant contributions to society made by black slaves and how their history is integral to mainstream America.
African American people have been considered second class citizens for over 200+ years. They came to the U.S. as slaves and worked and helped build America as it is today. After Pres. Lincoln abolished slavery, black people were still discriminated against and not treated equal in the eyes of other races. And were kept down and made to feel inferior. Psalm 69:4 says, "Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal." What we must first understand is that we are only one race, which is the human race. We as people are made up of different ethnicities of the human race. And we are all created in the image and likeness of God. (Genesis 1:26-27)

So what does the bible say about racism? God does not see color or show favoritism. Acts 10:34-35 says, "Then Peter began to speak: I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right." God asks us to love everyone, just as we love ourselves. In the Old Testament, God divided us into two groups, Jews and Gentiles. God wanted the Jews to minister to the Gentiles, but the Jews became proud and despised them. But when Jesus came and died for us all, he put an end to all forms of racism and discrimination. Acts 10:27-28 says, "Talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. He said to them: You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean." Jesus loves us all and he commands that we love each other. If we treat another person badly, we are mistreating a person made in God's image. Everything happens for a reason. And I believe that God allowed Barack Obama to become President to continue to squash racial intolerance and to bring us all together for the common good of America. For Galatians 3:28-29 states that, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
