Chris, world renowned expert on the history of Black History month.
I do believe there is often a thematic focus and this year is on black women.

Could I request an instant ban for anyone who asks why there isn't a white history month please?
I am going to suggest that these two articles are not the only ones relating the black history month. I haven't done the requisite research, but I think there may be others.

Fair enough. Would you list what the past themes have been, by year?
Yes mate:
LibGuides: Black History Month: Black History Month Themes
Every year the ASALH assigns a theme for BHM. The themes reflect changes in how people of African descent in the United States have viewed themselves, the influence of social movements on racial ideologies, and the aspirations of the black community.

For a man who likes to purport to liking to use reason, evidence and avoiding ignorance your headlong dive into this topic absolutely reeks of them!
We expect better Chris.

Evidence from the list suggests this sexist and divisive focus on only half of a population has been done before, in 1996 and 2012. There has been no commensurate focus solely on black males.
Also... its clear that this is an American (well technically US as that is only one minor part of two American continents) thing. There are black people in other parts of the world, including Britain and it seems they are being overlooked by the people who focus on this month.
So why will the bbc obsess ... on US cultural issues again (as they do each year)?
It's well established in the UK my friend.
Very well established. Runs every October. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/49883230

According to the bbc ... but my point is and not that km against it ... why? Its US culture - they're the nation who carried on slavery long after the civilised world ended it, they're the ones who stopped people sitting near whites on buses. Why do we get hammered with it for a month hearingvabout the bad things THEY did as if WE should feel bad about it.
This is the thing though, isn't it, the BBC is there to MAKE people feel bad. It's like the way very poor teachers control a class - make them feel guilty and repress them. It's social control.
