Just a couple of points.

Why should 'Black History' be confined to the history of black people in Britain? Black History should be about what black people have been doing for last few thousand years in their own countries. And not merely complaining about imperialism. I want information about their literature, their scientific developments, their territorial and religious wars, and, especially, their development of the slave trade in Africa.

Another reason for the growing unpopularity of History, is that the study of History requires not only the learning of new things, but the acceptance that one was wrong about many things.
