You can celebrate great people of any genre and mention them all. Why does race enter in? Would be better to celebrate what is worth celebrating and not divide. Racism is perpetuated when people divide, whether other people do the dividing or the aggrieved group does. Racism will end when people stop dividing.

I think there's but one race....
.
.
.
The human race.
The powers that shouldn't be manipulated the populations of people by many.methods, economic, let's look at the caste system of India. Then there's that division based on age as we see in American public fool system. That indoctrination keeps people of all ages segregated throughout life until the lonely death as seen by the recent example of Canadian genocide. We are all aware of religious separation, which is sometimes a necessary thing, but is further manipulated by the social scientists of the D0D and C👁️A.
On and on are the separations that keep people weak and less able to resist those political/ economic monsters behind the scenes.

For first-term Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis, a historic decision looms in Trump election investigation
Willis graduated from Howard University in Washington, D.C., in 1992 and Emory University School of Law in 1996. She started working in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office in 2001 and climbed the ranks over nearly two decades, serving in nearly every division of the office. She was lead prosecutor in over 100 jury trials and prosecuted hundreds of murder and other high-profile cases.
"The best trial lawyers have an ability to take a complicated set of facts, ingest them quickly and immediately identify the issues that are going to be the crux," said former prosecutor Charlie Bailey, who worked under Willis for four years. "She [has] that ability in spades."
One of Willis' most well-known cases was the 2015 prosecution of 12 Atlanta Public School educators accused of conspiring to inflate students' results on standardized tests. All but one of the defendants were found guilty of racketeering and other crimes.
"She was no nonsense, determined, intelligent and driven," said Linda Dunikoski, who prosecuted the Atlanta Public School scandal along with Willis and who is now senior assistant district attorney in Cobb County, Georgia. "[The prosecution] was controversial. People said teachers can't be criminals."
"When a crime has been brought to an elected official's attention, they are obligated to investigate and that's what she has done. She's done the right thing," Dunikoski said.
On Feb. 10, 2021, Willis sent letters to Raffensperger and other state officials informing them of her office's probe into potential solicitation of election fraud, false statements, conspiracy and racketeering.
"You don't get to come to Fulton County and commit crimes, and anyone who comes to Fulton County and commits a crime should be held responsible for their actions," said Dunikoski.
Her political career collided with her office's investigation in July, when the judge overseeing the special purpose grand jury chastised Willis for hosting a fundraiser for Bailey, who at the time was a Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor competing in a primary.
Judge Robert McBurney called the optics of Willis' participation in the fundraiser "horrific." McBurney blocked Willis from pursuing an investigation into then-State Senator Burt Jones, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor who was among those implicated in the alternate elector scheme. Jones won the election against Bailey on Nov. 8.
But Bailey said he doesn't believe politics will drive Willis' decisions in the investigation.

Might be worth noting that there is no such thing as "reverse" racism. There is only racism. Does not matter the race of someone who hates someone else because of their race, hating someone because of their race is "racism," and anyone of any race can be guilty of this.
Kristofferson, on his Border Lord Album, recorded a song titled: Jesus was a Capricorn. In it there was a verse that went something like"
Eggheads cursin', rednecks cussin'
Hippies for their hair
Others laugh at straights who laugh at
Freaks who laugh at square
Some folks hate the Whites
Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan
Most of us hate anything that
We don't understand
'Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
Prove they can be better than at any time they please
Someone doin' somethin' dirty, decent folks can frown on
But you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me
Help yourself brother
Help yourself [Incomprehensible]
Help yourself brother

Several years ago, maybe 20, 25 years or more, a couple of reps from the census bureau showed up at my door to correct?/verify? my entry of "human" in the race category. 
I'm sorry I laughed, it's just that that is such a weird thing for them to have done, lol! And to think our taxes goes to paying these government yo-yos their salaries! 🥴

Yep, I saw that no one laughed at my adding Fani Willis and Nathan Wade to a thread on Black History Month. This should not be viewed as racist as I have made innumerable jokes about Joe Biden who is now part of White history. I have made fun of Kamala Harris who is part Indian American history (from India and Jamaican mix).

Another reason to not provide demographics is that many people decided to use that "confidential" census information to imprison ethnic groups during WW2 in America.

There's a lesson here.
I can go into a tanning booth and that doesn't make me more virtuous at the end of the session.
The social scientists who manipulate people based on the shade of their tans try to get the culture to look at people as black and white. Then they establish racism through the leaders that they place in positions of religion, politics and so on. There are whole books on each point no doubt, but black does not equal virtue any more than white equals virtue. The Bible supercedes these notions with solid truth.

If racial bigotry is to be sufficiently minimized, we must stop highlighting racial differences, making a big deal out of them. Things like Black History Month shine a spotlight on race. People are accomplished not because they're black or Asian, but because of what they did. That is what's racist about this whole thing. It's certainly not in the same way as, say, the KKK's or the Black Panthers' ethnic militancy. But, it does perpetuate our over-awareness of one's skin color, which doesn't let past wounds heal, and which can perpetuate a sense of victimhood, which in turn can devolve into other evils -- as we are currently seeing.
I had a buddy in church years ago who had this exaggerated focus on his race (he is black -- I'm assuming he's still alive). I thought to myself (I may have mentioned it to him, not sure if I did) that the only reason I was aware he was black is because he kept reminding me.
