Black History Month marks 47 years in Jacksonville and the U.S. Here's a Vintage Times-Union look back.
Consider 1973 when, as a Times-Union story noted, the Duval County School Board took up a policy that would"eliminate the observance of Black History Week" each February. In its place would go a"multi-ethnic studies" program.
"The proposed policy states that the curriculum here must reflect the history, culture and contributions of the ethnic and racial groups which make up society," Margo Pope's story said."In addition, the proposal mandates all classroom materials should present contributions of all people in an objective and balanced manner.
In 1991 a Times-Union story by Julia Howard told how a county desegregation plan, approved the previous year after negotiations with the NAACP,"required the school system teach students more about Blacks and other non-European influences." As part of that, every eighth-grade teacher got a set of a book on African American history that spanned 400 years.
