It’s February, and the annual observance of the significant Black History Month has officially begun. The Black Achievement Month, also known as African-American History Month, is celebrated every year in America to acknowledge the accomplishments, and triumphant moments of talented individuals who overcame prejudices and stigma against colour and race.
After Donald Trump’s scathing remarks against the African nations – wherein he referred to them as “shithole countries” – people are celebrating the important month with zest and zeal to challenge the perceptions. One such initiative was started by comedian Dennis Banks on Twitter, and it’s simply heartwarming.
