The season of minority history months is upon us. In February we celebrated Black History Month, and in March we observe Women's History Month. Skip ahead to May and we honor the heritage of both Jewish Americans and Asian Pacific Americans.
To all of us who are considered minorities, I say, "STAND UP AND BE COUNTED." For we outnumber those tenacious white men, whose history for so long has defined the rest of us.
Perhaps it's time to give them their own month, instead of an entire millennium. They could go in January, along with National Oatmeal Month; in April to accompany National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month; or perhaps in June, sharing the stage with National Hamburger Month.
Then again, there's always April 1.
