Thank you for sharing. However, I suggest you present the history like a book. You must start at the beginning to really appreciate the whole story. If you begin with slavery, then you miss out on the fact that people of African descent gave birth to all the world. Therefore, we were the originators of civilization. Once you start at the beginning, then you can add the other “races” in as the timeline progresses. That is the “Real Story” and not “His-Story!!”

And why our nation takes great effort to remain ignorant, and thereby condemn itself to strangle its future with the two hands of an aging workforce and youth that is not prepared properly for the work that has not yet been exported. Luke Visconti, CEO, DiversityInc

It is a strange paradox to me that a people legally enslaved for three hundred years and taught to hate themselves and anyone who looks like them, would after another one hundred years of “peonage”; wonder why their descendants know nothing of their ancestors when they relegate the emphasis on that history to one month out of the year.

Thank you so much or the links.

It’s sad, but when I read the subject line I looked at the links and the first thing that I thought to myself was
“ I wouldn’t call any of this progress” there is still just as much racism, sexual harassment and stereotyping as there was 20 years ago.
We can just freely talk, tweet, and FB about it now.

Thanks again for all you do

We as a people can do better. How? We need to”counsel and teach our young people” to become the Cop, not the thug, to become the prison warden, not the prisoner, to become the banker, not the debt slave, to become the leader of the class, not the distraction, etc. We need to give more support to our local churches, businesses, and virtual community.
