you can call me boots.

Tonight, someone left a comment on a story that I assigned to a freelancer and then posted on my work website.

The story was about Black History Month programming at an area university, which features Civil Rights activist and organizer Diane Nash.

The commenter wrote, “Duh, when’s white history month?”

I would like to calmly ask this person why there should be a white history month, when the truth is that white men have been writing the world’s history for centuries — and rather inaccurately, at that.
