I love how you emphasize that we are Black all year round, blackness is not confined to a month & I think it should be celebrated all year round.
We need to be proud of our ancestors who fought for their lives and without that fight we would exist. Around 12 million slaves were taken in the slave trade, but only 10 million survived the transit across the Atlantic from Africa to the Americas.
"We will struggle and fight and be"! This is a great lesson, thanks.

It makes sense that Woodson and others were teaching black history 365 and the week recognition was the icing on the cake!
