US EMBASSYAs Americans celebrate their Black History Month in February, the Bangkok Post interviewed the US Embassy's Chargé d'Affaires Michael Heath on the occasion. Black History Month is one of a series of heritage months we celebrate in the US each year to better recognise the diversity that makes the US what it is today. I hope Thais who read about the lives of Black Americans featured this month will be inspired to share their own perspectives on diversity. In addition to being a time to celebrate the accomplishments of Black Americans, Black History Month is also a time to recommit ourselves to achieving the ideals of our nation's founding. This month, the US Embassy has organised a number of Black History Month activities open to Thais.
