ROSA SAT, MLK WALKED, OBAMA RAN:

I had no idea that history was being made. I was just tired of giving up. ~Rosa Parks

     We all acknowledge Black History Month, we all know it's Black History Month, but do we harvest into our heads the true meaning of Black History Month? When we think black history we think MLK, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X. All who shared one common goal, and that was to have peace and equality, not only for themselves, but for all. It holds the memories of a terrible age, but also the promise of a new one. Just take a look at today. What better example than our own President? The inauguration of PresidentObama is the ideal picture of how blacks have come so far, and accomplished so much.

    I hope that every February be a month where we all reflect back on the black experience, because it doesn't only apply to blacks, but to people of all different races. After fighting and struggling for hundreds of years,they proved to the world, and most importantly, themselves, that success will come to those that take matters into their own hands.
