OK so the assembly was today. I don't teach at the high school, I just coach there, so I didn't get there until about 1/2 way through. It didn't seem to me as much of a Black History assembly as a Black Present assembly. I may have missed the history part, but when I got there they were having a freestyle rap contest, then moved into a break dancing exhibition, then a medley of music and dance routines from the Supremes to the Temptations to Michael Jackson. Entertaining, but not a lot of history there.

sounds more like "this is what black people listen to and do" in a very stereotypical way.

but then again, the whole point of black history month seems to be to isolate black people and treat them as though they're disabled somehow.
