Black History Month

Today is the first day of Black History Month. Therefore, I wanted to just take a few moment and highlight this month. Although I try to celebrate Black History Month everyday, this month is very special. We as people have to connect the dots for ur generation and the generation of the next.

See when thinking about history, we must not think about old fossil like people or movements of the past. No, what we must think about is history as the ladder that has helped us climb to the positions we are right now. That is not much, don't get me wrong. Black Men are still being killed on camera and broad day-light and nothing is happening.

However, with certain people of the past, we have the access to change many of our positions. Martin Luther King did not die because of his dream. He was killed when he wake up and saw the nightmare that we all live in.

Second, The Great Malcolm X was killed because he saw the world from a urgent prospective. He knew that life would continue the way it has if everyone played safe. If everyone stayed at home, played blind, and acted like injustice was not happening.

Therefore, we must again, not like at Black History as ancient history. Almost everything that our descendants went through, we go through now. Black History Month is a month to reflect on the past, but also make plans as well as take action for the future.

I sat at my computer, and I logged on to Twitter. To my shocked, yet unsurprised emotions, another Black Man was killed in America. Once again, another hashtag was created. A father of children, and a provider killed again. His name was, no IS Mr. Alton Sterling. Mr. Sterling like I stated above was a father, and a man just trying to do what he could to be what he knew was being a man. In addition, as I read his case and looked at him. Something got me, and hit me hard. His stature and expressions reminded me of yet another case of a Black Man being killed that broke my heart: Mr. Eric Garner.

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...
