Today is February 1st and, as such, is the first day of Black History Month, celebrated in the U.S. throughout the month. For literally centuries Black people have been sold into slavery, abused, brutalized, and murdered for no reason other than the colour of their skin. The saddest thing of all is that in this, the 21st century, there are still large numbers of people who believe that Black people are somehow ‘inferior’ to whites.
