February is our time to celebrate our people and focus on
our history. We should always thank and
honor Dr. Carter G. Woodson for setting a specific time in the year to reflect
on all the great contributions African Americans made and continue to make in
this free and great nation in which we now live.
Looking back, we traveled through trials and tribulations
and yet in spite of every obstacle placed in our path, none of them stopped our
moving forward to achieve each and every goal that we set for ourselves. I like
you am very proud of our parents and the bloodlines of our ancestors, male and
female, for their determination to insure that future generations of young Black
men and women would have a path to follow, shoes to wear, and a sense of pride
and dignity about themselves as a people.
We now realize that one month out of each year cannot
possibly be enough time to recognize African American achievements; so much has
been lost or forgotten down through the years of passing time. It is our job,
this generation, to teach whenever and wherever possible to our children this
wonderful and exciting history of a great and noble people starting with the
African American family. By the Grace and love of God we have come, this
far.
Thank-you Jesus.
