Black History Month (BHM) is a constant reminder of black achievement in world history and culture. BHM 2007 foregrounds stories of success and achievement that challenge common perceptions of Black people. It transgresses received views of what Black success is supposed to mean, and how it should be measured. The Black men and women featured have succeeded in areas where odds were stacked against them.
