Today is Presidents day in the U.S. and the government offices and financial markets are closed. It's also the last eight days of Black History Month and nearing the end of all of the programs, local events and lectures and community driven/lead service activities designed to engage and education on the history of the African-American contributions to U.S. history, My recommendation, for everyone living in America...go, attend, join!
This in an opportunity to truly understand and learn more about Americas tumultuous past and about all of the positive contributions of African-Americans, to history, that is not readily known or shared with the world, taught in school or written in books (Hidden Figures). There are so many things, from our struggle, that we achieved with no help (social of financial), little education, no guidance...but, still we hoped for, worked for, fought for, begged for...more. Not just for us but for our children and grandchildren. So, I encourage you all to participate in a black history month event, attend a community lead service event...with your family or friends. It's all about being educated about all the history that make the U.S. what it is today and what you'd like it to be tomorrow.
