Remembering Black History Month has been a struggle through all the lies, distractions, murders of American citizens, protests, and peaceful marches of our First Amendment rights, and another war; therefore, let's keep the facts front and center. Teaching, learning, and reminding us every day. A famous poet once said,
"History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and of our common humanity, so that we can better face the future."
~Robert Penn Warren
