If you remember any thing about American history while in school, there were a few Black historic figures they taught during the late 70's and early 80's. We learned a little about Christopher Attucks, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King Jr. (only that he had a dream), If you're lucky, maybe there were mentions of Nat Turner, Malcolm X, Langston Hughes, Dr. Charles Drew.
There were countless other African Americans that contributed to American History. Although it is nice to concentrate on Black History in the month Of February, Black History is 365 days. I rather like Black History is American History, without one, there would be no other.
The show "We Shall Overcome" is dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The show celebrates his life and his vision and hopes for a greater America. America greatness is always brightness when all it's citizen are working together pulling together for a positive goal.
We have come a long way my children and yet we have a long way to go. There are things like reverse discrimination, Jenna 6, Victims of Hurricane Katrina, Issue of immigrants vs Border control still looming to keep us divided. The fight is not over, we shall overcome.
