February is now over & march in my opinion is a time of reflection, the question that is glued in my thoughts is "Was black history month a success?" and i believe it was not. I had a limitless ambition for the amount of post i will publish once black history month came around but i failed to accomplish that goal because of the same routine that some of us will go through, and that's learning about some African Americans who has changed our lives for 29 days then just move on and go back to our normal lives, and some of us didn't even make an attempt. I didn't post as much because i felt like i was giving my readers something that they already learned, and quite frankly it gets tiring, I wanted to give you guys something you can feel and from that feeling you can go on and make a change in not only your lives but in others also. I feel an obligation to keep the memory of events like black history alive to keep the meaning but also the meaning of sacrifice alive. I want to be part of a generation that will fight for what they believe in and also have self awareness because before learning about others you have to learn about yourself. Can't walk down the street and look at a stop light without knowing its history, or you can't dream without knowing that others fought for that privilege of even thinking of being someone in the future. All i ask is for people to research more and from that knowledge to pass it on to others because with that simple act of kindness (Spreading education) we can make this world a much better place. I believe we are taking to many things for granted and we are forgetting the true meaning of history and the future. So please always remember that just because black history month has ended does not mean our desire to learn about rich history needs to end along with the month.
Human history is everyday.
