Which month is Hispanic History Month (Brown?)?  How about French American Month?  German American Month?  Irish American Month?  British American Month?  Asian (Yellow?) American Month?  Of course, I know it's not politically correct to even refer to White History Month but I say it anyway. 4951

@Retired_Engineer: National Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15th to October 15thIt doesn't follow a calendar month but rather dates of historical/cultural importancehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hispanic_Heritage_MonthFrench-American heritageI couldn't find a national holiday, but several Yankee states celebrate Franco-American date on June 24th.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French-Americans#Franco-American_DayIn the South, people are more likely to self-identify as Acadian or Cajun heritage than Franco-American.  I couldn't find a specific reference but ..... it's Mardi Gras.  German American heritage Day is October 6th http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German-American_DayIrish-American heritage month is in Marchhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish-American_Heritage_MonthBritish American month is celebrated every Fourth of July, where America retells the story of when we told King George to kiss our asterisk.    Okay, maybe not.Asian Pacific Heritage Month is in Mayhttp://asianpacificheritage.gov/There is no White History month because whites are the dominant political and cultural force in America and by default, most of our national story is the history of white people.  For example, when Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are created equal in the Declaration of Independence, he wasn't referring to George Jefferson.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jefferson)

@MTechnique:   January 20th, 2017 isn't that far away.   That's when Hillary Clinton will be sworn in as President 45.  So you have that to look forward to.
