Today is the last day of Black History month and I just wanted to give honor to many of our ancestors, the ones who struggled, the ones who died so we can have a better life, the ones who prayed and kept the faith, the ones who believed that times would get better, and the ones who paved the way so all of us could have better opportunities today.
Each time I hear about the history of slavery in America, I always wonder what was it like back then and how could anyone deal with such horrific times, and how could slave owners be so harsh and cruel to other human beings. This post is to give honor to all of our African American ancestors, especially the ones who cared and were courageous enough to stand up, to be heard and to be bold--not caring what others thought or said about them, and not caring about the threats of the racist oppressors, but who just kept on keeping on with accomplishing their goals while taking great risks to ensure we all have freedom.
Here is to Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Maria Stewart, Ida. B Wells, W.E.B. Dubois, Nat Turner, Fannie Lou Hamer, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and the many others who have made such a positive difference in our world today, and for those of us who are still continuing to do right no matter how hard the challenge may seem to make sure this world is a better place for all, including, but not limited to our President Barack Obama.
Thank you and God bless,
