We honor our Black History for life. And in the month of February for 28 Days American History shares the stories of the first famous black; leaders, poets, actors & actresses, trail blazers, educators, innovators and pioneers. That graciously superseded in their successes beyond the years of tyranny, social injustices, hardships & oppressions.
The Black History of these ancestors; open doors that were not meant to be opened for generations. Contested unconstitutional favoritism against them. And for our generations it was because of our ancestors sacrifices & gracious talented works. Black History remains the makeup of our African Kings & Queens who continue in their footprints to leave our legacies; that breathe throughout this American History.
We honor:
Emmitt Till; his life was cut short; taken and beaten severely in the midnight hours. For being a young black man at the right place in the presence of hate in black history. In memory of all our black boys & girls; who impacted every area of our struggle.
"In memory of Dominique White Jul. 1991-Jan.15, 2020" the day they plotted on your body; was the date they also recorded your story in History. For your legacy & the world would one day read.
MLK; for allowing our voices to be heard as those dogs were headed our way. If a man has not found something he is willing to die for; he is not fit to live. Madam C. J. Walker; first self made millionaire. A boss of elegance and style. Walker represented by exposing natural & pure black beauty through America History.
Rosa Parks; allowing us to take a seat at the front; no longer the back of that bus. To allow our black people to rest their worn feet that labored throughout Black History.
WEB Dubois; teaches us knowledge is a lethal weapon.
Sarah Baartman; sold as a young girl around the world. Her story is unique it was her voluptuous beauty that gain the attention; of those who betrayed her in vanity. Then sold her beauty in a jar; in a museum for viewing around the world.
Malcom X; his courage, and quest to challenge himself. And not fear the challenges he would soon be forced to face. By standing in the mist of betrayal, adversity and silent fights to end; a vision he shared with the fearful for life.
Mandela; I hear you been looking for me. And even if you confine my body behind these jail bars. My mind remains free; of the chains set in place to bound me & my black people.
Harriet; broke the chains around our mental thinking in Black History. And ran for her life to return back in slavery to set us free; to breathe in American History.
Angela Davis; I refuse to allow you to drag my body through the streets of our bloody history. And even if you imprison my King. I will continue to speak as a free Black Queen.
