Black History is only a reminder for what happens all year long. Black people make history every day, despite racism and bigotry trying to stop them.

My own history starts with my grandparents, Benjamin Carney and Mary Carney. My grandfather fled North Carolina to Washington, D.C., to build a better life. He and my grandmother bought a house in 1950. Even Jim Crow couldn’t stop them from providing our family with a home.

But there are a lot of homeless people sleeping on the streets today. Pray with me that everyone who is homeless finds a home. Spread love.
