Question: Should NI Schools Observe Black History?

Issue: Lack of black history events starts dialogue: Lake City student's letter gains principal's attention/Meghann M. Cuniff, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Treylon "Trey" Cain-Taylor is used to being a lone black face in a sea of white students. Ever since he moved out of Seattle as a young boy, he's been one of just a handful of students of color at his schools. So the 16-year-old was accepting of the fact that he was part of a very small minority of students when he started at Lake City High School. But what he isn't accepting of is the lack of attention Lake City and the other schools he's attended have given Black History Month in February.

Question: Should North Idaho schools recognize/celebrate Black History Month in February?
