“African Awareness Month” (also called “Black History Month”) is celebrated in the month of February in the United States of America and in Canada. It is a celebration of the contributions of African and African American people have made to these countries and the collective human experience.
It is also a reminder that human history is a collective and all groups have made significant contributions. Ultimately a greater understanding of the contributions that different groups have made to our human history will bring us closer to understanding that we are all a part of the same human family and there is only one “race” of people, the “human race!”
“Black History Month” was created by a historian Carter G Woodson in 1926 as “Negro History” week and later evolved into an entire month of celebrations! For the month of February I will post quotes by famous African and African American people!
My purpose for sharing these inspirational quotes with you is to encourage you and I to think about our lives in a different way, perhaps a more positive way. By changing the way we think and talk about our lives in this precious moment we have an opportunity to create a more enjoyable life experience.
