The origins of Black History Month date back to 1926, when
Carter G. Woodson proposed a
weeklong celebration of Black
history and heritage. He argued,
"If a race has no history, ... it
stands in danger of being
exterminated."
However, today, some educators
and activists believe that Black
History Month does more harm
than good. They worry it may
encourage teachers to limit
teaching of Black history to one
month a year, rather than
recognizing it as an integral part of
U. S. and world history.
What would you propose schools
do to make sure all students learn
about Black history? Write two
paragraphs describing your idea.
Feel free to include Black History
Month in your proposal or leave it
out.

1920 census

the census was scheduled for january the 1st, as the government believed that more farmers would be in their homes by that time instead of april. the census did not ask about unemployment, the number of children, and how long was a couple married were not taken into consideration. individuals were considered as residents of the places they normally slept, not the places were they worked at or visited.

2010 census

the census was scheduled for april 1st, 2010. it was the shortest census in history: it only contained 10 questions related to name, age, gender, ethnicity, relationship, and whether the citizen owned a home or rented one. the government launched a website in order to provide the citizens with information regarding the census. there were also "teach census weeks" in schools nationwide.
