Black History is very special and vital to U.S. history. Recognition and acceptance of African-American culture, heritage, people and leaders is something worth celebrating and enjoying.
Throughout history there have been so many people fighting for equal rights and leading the example of being anything the African American race can be.
Remembering and honoring the greats that changed history for all is wonderful. And having an entire museum full of Black culture and history on the National Mall is heart-warming. I hope the younger generation is looking up to the people memorialized by statues and plaques, to honor and remember what our great African-American people have done and to carry their legacy ever forward.
Having this history highlighted for an entire month is something that has come a long way from how Black people have been treated in this country. There may be a long way to go, but this shows that we fought, prayed and worked hard to come this far — to be heard and never be forgotten.
Thank you and Happy Black History Month!
