Quote:Mike Pence Recognized Black History Month By Honoring A White Man

Vice-President Mike Pence posted a tweet on Wednesday in which he recognized the beginning of Black History Month by honoring a white man.

The tweet acknowledged President Abraham Lincoln and his work around the abolishment of slavery, but fails to mention the contributions of any black trailblazer.

As #BlackHistoryMonth begins, we remember when Pres. Lincoln submitted the 13th Amendment, ending slavery, to the states #NationalFreedomDay
9:00 PM - 1 Feb 2017

Pence’s tribute to Lincoln didn’t sit well with many on Twitter, who called out the tone-deaf tweet and implored the vice president to become better acquainted with the achievements of black men and women. 

As kind Twitter users reminded our newbie vice president, Black History Month is a time to honor black people in American history.

.@VP it's part of the racist imagination that Black history began when white men "freed the slaves" - #BHM is timeless.
