Hey everybody, welcome to Becoming the People.

I'm Prentice and Pill.

This is this week's mini episode.

I'm really grateful to be with you all.

Happy Black History Month.

For those who observe, a controversial statement for me is that I actually do not

do anything different in Black History Month, though I do, you know, I have appreciation for the

holiday for the month of celebration,

of recognition. But I personally don't do much different for Black History Month because

I think it was down to because for me it's like, when would you not, when would you not be reading Black history?

Like, what are, would you just not be reading it otherwise? Would you not? I mean, I get the importance of it because our, especially

public education and I think educational system at large has intentionally excluded so much

black history that people are undereducated and don't know it. People are essentially ignorant around the

contributions of black people and don't know it and believe that they have been educated.

So I understand obviously why it needs to exist and why it's important to infuse, but it's in my own life,

in my day-to-day life, it feels odd to me.

I don't even, it's not even that it feels odd.

I actually do not understand in my own life how to put more of an emphasis on Black

History when it gets to be February.

I struggle with that. I'm like, how do I do it more? Yeah. on Black History when it gets to be February.

I struggle with that.

I'm like, how do I do it more?
