Groups that are particularly marginalized receive especial benefit from the familiarity that the focus of a "history month" or other special focus can promote. The point is to help people relate to these historical figures and their struggles. It's not about emphasizing the fact, for example, of their skin color, etc.; it's about hearing new and culturally significant stories about real people who might look different, but upon closer inspection share our hopes, fears, and foibles. It's no more complicated than that.
