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.

And in the case of dollree mapp, involve people with a lot of personal strength to really see a situation and to go to the courts for relief and to fight her way all the way to the Supreme Court. So really our case is about individuals that have Lasting Impact upon all americans and any one of us could be that individual. Although frankly nobody could be like dollree mapp. And what are your final thoughts about this case and its importance . That we all have a role to play in the protection of our constitutional rights. We all have to stand up and give voice every day to the constitution or it ends up becoming a dead letter.

Our series continues next week with the Supreme Courts 1962 decision in baker versus carr. In that case justices establish the right of federal courts to review redistricting
