do they ignor alot of their history like Pigmy's, Headhunters, and others who even today eat human flesh? Or their history before Europeans showed them a better way?

We owe the celebration of Black History Month to Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Born to parents who were former slaves, he worked in the Kentucky coal mines as a child and enrolled in high school at age twenty. He graduated in two years and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard. As a student, he was disturbed to find that history books largely ignored the black American population. If blacks were mentioned at all, it was generally in ways that reflected the inferior social position they were assigned at the time.
Woodson decided to take on the challenge of writing black Americans into the nation's history. He established the 'Association for the Study of ***** Life and History' in 1915; later re-named to the 'Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History' (ASALH) . In 1916, he founded the widely respected 'Journal of ***** History'. In 1926, he launched ***** History Week to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history.
Woodson chose the second week of February for ***** History Week because it corresponded to the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, two men who greatly impacted the American black population. In 1976, the Association succeeded in expanding the observance, which then became Black History Month.
Take care!

February is used since it is the shortest month and they run out of ideas before they ran out of time.
But eaters of human flesh exist in all cultures and races. Plus all the Europeans did was to enslave the black race as did the egyptians and romans before them.
