Black History Outlasts February!
February 10, 2021
Share this post:
Black History Month is here again and we continue treating Caribbean History like an academic subject only to be remembered in February, instead of a required subject for every Caribbean student, all-year-round.
We remember Garvey, MLK and Mandela, but tend to overlook those giants and icons still standing tall among us and designated as ‘national heroes’, but not given equal treatment regionally.
Advocates for change are pressing for urgent upgrading of the History curriculum at our schools to reflect real contemporary Caribbean History, but it’s still left (largely) to individual principals and teachers to find innovative ways to introduce new subjects to classes of young Caribbean minds getting ready to shape the region’s tomorrow.
