Re: Ethnic History Month?

["Anderson, Julie LHS-STAFF" <AndersonJ@ISSAQUAH.WEDNET.EDU>]

I assume the person who made the original post about making February an
Ethnic History month didn't know that there are months for other major
ethnicities.... If my memory serves, September is Hispanic Heritage month,
November is Native American Heritage month, and June is for Asian and
Pacific Islanders. I'm sure that someone will correct me if my memory has
failed.

I do think it's important to celebrate specific minority cultures
separately, otherwise they'll get lost in among everything else which is
where they are most of the time.

So that's my two cents,
Julie
