Its important because African Americans have come a long way from where they use to be. When a race or people start as being slaves & treated extremely cruelly, becoming famous leaders like Martin Luther King Jr or someone like Rosa Parks, is very important & valuable to society. Things like the Underground Railroad influenced American History, and African Americans play a huge role in history.

The idea is to have a month set aside for black Americans whose history is often blotted out. It's only to be around until black Americans history is as commonly taught as white Americans history or any American for that matter. So long as people think black Americans played little part in building the foundation of a whole country, Black History is supposed to be around.
