Today is the first day of Black History Month 2021 and although there may be a pandemic, if 2020 taught us/others anything, this month is crucial to educating everyone about the history of people of color in this country because if you don’t know your past you are doomed to repeat it.  In the words of the legendary Bob Marley In this bright future you can’t forget your past.  It is also important that we celebrate this month to give thanks to those that came before us.

We ain’t what we oughta be. We ain’t what we want to be. We ain’t what we gonna be. Butthank Godwe ain’t what we was.’ – Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
