Submitted 1 Oct 2010 12:00am

Guardian journalist Afiya Hirsch today published an article on the Guardian’s Comment is Free page.

In it she articulates the importance and relevance of celebrating Black history. She also puts to bed the often widely held views of so-called Liberals who toe the ‘What about white history?’ line. She counters this but also argues that we need to celebrate Black historical figures in the right way.

It is a refreshing and nuanced argument. Read the full article here.
