Give credit where credit is due!
Traditionally the great achievement of African Americans in history are celebrated in February, but we often forget to pay homage to the African Americans that have contributed significantly to civilization the remaining 11 months of the year.
Some of their inventions are the traffic light, refrigeration system and performing the first open heart surgery, just to name a few.
In reality how will our future generation of all races have an opportunity to learn African American history, unless it is being taught in school on a regular bases? What message are we sending to our youth? Is Black History not important?
Even though February is set aside as Black History Month, we should be reminded each day of the inventions that were made and accomplishments of African Americans.
Take the limit off! To be continued.
To God be the glory
God Bless!
