Today is more famously known as Groundhog Day, or perhaps Candlemas. However, it is also the first workday, or school day, for Black History Month, and Guadalupe Hidalgo Day.
Black History Month is to show how bad the U.S. has treated blacks. An alternative view is presented here http://www.yaf.org/black-history-month.aspx?terms=black%20history%20month, and by ordering the Activism Guide here http://www.yaf.org/forms/campusactivismguide2015.html
Guadalupe Hidalgo Day celebrates the end of the Mexican American War and is commonly taught as how the U.S. "stole" the American southwest. This is countered by the article below from the website www.vdare.com
Happy Guadalupe Hidalgo Day!

Feb 2nd is the anniversary of one the greatest victories in our history -- the American victory in the Mexican war and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
This was the victory that gave us the American Southwest and let us say that our country stretched "from sea to shining sea."
What we won was a largely empty desert. What our people built was an economic and technological powerhouse that is the envy of the world.
Of course, politicians today -- both Republican and Democrat -- are doing their best to give away what Americans of the past purchased with their blood. Our borders are utterly undefended. Illegal immigrants parade under foreign flags in some of our greatest cities.
Honor our troops - especially those brave American soldiers who fought for our flag in the Mexican conflict.
Show the world that we are still the same people who won the Mexican war. And send a message to the politicians that we won't give up our country.
Help us build a grassroots force that can put a stop to this treason within our own government. And commemorate the great victory in the Mexican War by laying the foundation for the great American victories of the future.
