"PaulSmith69, post: 6288757, member: 29126"]But I doubt there are very few current American citizens that were born on the African continent. It is a red herring.

There are probably WAY more from other continents. Why don't THEY get honored???

which continents are you referring to?

I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

what exact purpose does this serve?

Other than give racist, right-wing Trump supporters ammunition to combat Trump's heinous record on race relations, it doesn't appear to do much.

snip....Presidential Proclamation on National African American History Month, 2019

can someone please explain exactly what this does?

I think it was mostly fine. I didn't like the quick transition from slave trading to vibrant culture in the first paragraph. I feel like the hardships that were overcome were largely glossed over.

I admit to only reading the first couple of sentences; nevertheless, I bet that is a couple more sentences of the proclamation than Trump read.
