Days 1,2,3 & 4 Of Black History Month

I'm so psyched that it's finally BHM, though I am slightly a bit late, so I'll just give you four facts and maybe some more...

1. Madame CJ Walker has invented over 400 hair products and she was the FIRST BLACK MILLIONAIRE
2. Carter G. Woodson is known are the "Father of Black History" started NEGRO History week in 1926, which later became BLACK HISTORY MONTH
3. Morgan Freeman reportedly said a month dedicated to BLACK history is "ridiculous". In a 2005 interview on, Freeman said "You're going to relegate my history to a month? I don't want a BLACK HISTORY MONTH. BLACK history is AMERICAN history." I agree with him.
4. President Obama talked about the importance of BLACK HISTORY Month in a declaration from 2010: “This month, we recognize the courage and tenacity of so many hard-working Americans whose legacies are woven into the fabric of our Nation. We are heirs to their extraordinary progress. Racial prejudice is no longer the steepest barrier to opportunity for most African Americans, yet substantial obstacles remain in the remnants of past discrimination. Structural inequalities — from disparities in education and health care to the vicious cycle of poverty — still pose enormous hurdles for black communities across America. Overcoming today’s challenges will require the same dedication and sense of urgency that enabled past generations of African Americans to rise above the injustices of their time.”
