Black History Month starts in February every year. We get to celebrate all of the African Americans who have accomplished many things in the world, including Beyonce, Serena Williams, Maya Angelou, Muhammad Ali, and more. Anyone can celebrate Black History Month, it doesn't matter if you're White, Black, Spanish, etc. You can celebrate it.

I love to celebrate Black History Month, because I want to thank our people for what they have done in this world.

When I look at Black History Month, I look at it as a motivation, because of their achievements can help me become a successful person and change the world.

For example, Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King inspired us and helped us how to be equal by giving us one of the greatest speeches of all time called “I Have A Dream” and fought for our people. Baseball Hall of Famer and my favorite athlete of all time Jackie Robinson became the first African American to play in the MLB and breaking the color barriers back in 1947. Also, he became the first African American to get inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962. What Robinson showed us was we can do anything we want in our lives and never give up. African American Muslim Minister Malcolm X was the Nation of Islam's leader and for the African American community. Malcolm X fought for African American rights and supported black pride. He became one of the influential people in the world after his death in 1965. There's a book about him called “The Autobiography of Malcolm X”, which is a must read.

Last year, Actor and former teacher Jesse Williams made a strong speech when he won the Humanitarian Awards. So I want to share this video to you guys:

As an African and African American Studies student, I want to become a teacher, because I want to teach my students about Black History and the problems in America. Today, it's terrible how public schools don't teach their kids about Black History. We need to fix that, so that's why I want to become a teacher.

I love Black History Month and thank our people for accomplishing many goals in the past, so we can celebrate them every day.
