Asking why there is a
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
is kind of like asking who discovered THE NORTH POLE For
as much as we know about the many contributions African-Americans
have made to American history, we still have a lot to learn. Take
the story of Matthew Henson. Back in 1909, he braved freezing temperatures
to co-discover the North Pole. A significant achievment, yet one
that, unfortunately, few of us recognize. Certainly, African-American
accomplishments such as this deserve better, After all, our history
is not something to be taken for granted. TOYOTA |
