Actually I don't make a big deal out of black history month. I try to make sure I work in an accurate picture of the full American picture during the course of the year. In terms of the curriculum, Black History Month comes while we're studying World War One, the Jazz Age, and the Depression. That's actually a pretty good time to get a reminder to keep my course well rounded. Otherwise black history just turns into Civil War, Civil Rights, and that dude who invented the gas mask.
