Black History Month
It’s February 2018, and we spiritually encounter and
culturally embrace yet another Black History Month. Dr. Carter G. Woodson
designated, dedicated, and desired for Black History “Week”, now Black History
Month to be a time of great importance within our community. Although this
month has became a month of learning, due to the fact of the mis-education of
our people and an under-representation of African-Americans within
modern/mainstream America. We have been truly blessed with the opportunity to
continue to promote the narrative of black excellence and greatness for another
year to another significant group of our people whom have not been made aware
of our greatness.
As I stated on Twitter, the other day “Black History Month
is a time to reflect on the greatness of a people. It is a distinctive time of
dedication, which to pay honor to the ancestors, respect to the elders, educate
the youth, and create new opportunities as well as prosperity for the future.”
Black History Month is so special because we are able to accurately and freely recognize
our people whom essence has been targeted to be eradicated through oppression
and destruction. However, even though all adversity and adversaries, we still continue
the fight.”
Therefore, this Black History Month take time to reflect,
rejoice, and respond to the greatness of those whom have come before us and help
create newer/wider paths for those whom will come after us.
