“Personally, I don’t think
there should be
that big of a difference.
Race
shouldn’t really
play a role in
the presidential
race. When he
was first running,
I didn’t
judge him on
that, so I don’t think it should
make it any more important.”
— Alex Price, student, Amenia
“I come from Harlem. What
does black history
mean to
me? History has
been made now;
a black president
is in office.
What is he doing
for everyone?
Not just one set
of people, he
is for everybody. That’s what
black history means to me. History
has been made.”
— Clifford Harrison, laborer,
Oneonta
“For African
Americans I’d
say so, because
it’s the first
time they’ve had
someone in power.
You could
take all the
presidents from
over the years
and they’re all white. Now they
have their chance.”
— Brandon Scutt, unemployed,
Walton
“I think it’s important to
celebrate what Martin Luther
King did. I think
this year Black
History Month
will hold more
importance with
our new president.
I think he
will push more
for us to celebrate
it as a nation,
and not just black history,
but diversity as a whole.”
— Aubrey Brown, construction
worker, Williamsport, Pa.
“There’s a lot of stuff on
MTV that celebrates
Black
History Month. I
think President
Obama is really
diverse and very
openminded and
I like that about
him. I think it’s
important to celebrate
Black History Month,
and this year especially. But I
think even if there was a white
history month, I wouldn’t care
or like it any more or any less.”
