In today's world, black people have the same rights as anyone else. It wasn't always that way though. The whole reason we have black history month is because of the whole slavery ordeal. After the 13th Amendment ended slavery in 1865, African Americans were allowed the same rights as white people. Because of this, black men were now higher on the social totem pole than white women. However today, in a world where everyone is treated equally, barring hobos, integration of cultures is important. Black history month reinforces the idea that everyone is different.
