DESCRIPTION:February is Black History Month  Black History Month, a holiday founded in 
 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson as Negro History Week, celebrates the 
 achievements of the black community in the history of the USA.  Black 
 History Month is still celebrated in 2005 despite the fact that the black 
 community deals with state repression, mass incarceration, forced 
 sterilizations and poverty on a daily basis.  Black History Month continues 
 to essentialize blackness as it is experienced in the USA.   What are you 
 doing for the other 11 months?  Join the New College of California
