Should we CANCEL Black History Month? (VIDEO)

The debate no one wants to have... Sarah Stock takes to the street to ask tough questions about Black History Month.

Black History Month is a month-long celebration from 1 February to 1 March which is used to remember the achievements, contributions and history of Black individuals and communities, primarily in the United States.

In 1926, Carter G. Woodson, a black historian, established Negro History Week, which is thought to be the origins of Black History Month.

What started as a week has now turned into a month, and while it might seem nice to celebrate the achievements of minority communities in America, people have begun to wonder why White people have been excluded from the celebrations. There is no White History Month. And there appears to be a deliberate effort to undermine the achievements of White people, who, some would argue, have contributed the most to modern civilization.

In this video, Sarah Stock interviews people in Huntington Beach, California to see what they think about the idea of dedicating a month to White History.
