Black History Month
Black History Month is Celebrated from February 1st to February 28th each year. Black History Month was first proposed by black educators and the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969. African Americans or Black Americans have been making significant change over the years.
A few heroes who contributed to black history are as followed:
Martin Luther King Jr.-Civil Rights Leader
Katherine Johnson-American Mathematician
Robert Smalls-Slave who led an uprising that freed people being held on confederate transport ship.
Lewis Latimer-Inventor of the extended life of a light bulb.
Dorothy Height- God mother of the Women's Right Movement
We may have a long road ahead of us, but we've already come so far as a people. Too many of our own have lost their lives because of race, they've been discriminated against for the color of their skin and that's just completely unacceptable. The one thing I'm definitely certain of is that we're resilient and nothing or no one can ever change that. We're here to make a difference and leave our mark, everyone may not agree with it, but that's the world we live in.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Martin Luther King Jr, was a minister and a social activist who lead the civil rights movement in the U.S. in the 1950's. He was later assassinated in 1968. Every 3rd January of each year we commemorate his birthday as a national holiday. He dedicated his life to fighting against segregation and racism until his untimely death.
Education and Spiritual Growth
In 1948, King earned a sociology degree from Morehouse College and attended the liberal Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. He thrived in all his studies, and was valedictorian of his class in 1951, and elected student body president. He also earned a fellowship for graduate study.
But King also rebelled against his father’s more conservative influence by drinking beer and playing pool while at college. He became involved with a white woman and went through a difficult time before he could break off the affair.
During his last year in seminary, King came under the guidance of Morehouse College President Benjamin E. Mays who influenced King’s spiritual development. Mays was an outspoken advocate for racial equality and encouraged King to view Christianity as a potential force for social change. After being accepted at several colleges for his doctoral study, King enrolled at Boston University.
During the work on his doctorate, King met Coretta Scott, an aspiring singer and musician at the New England Conservatory school in Boston. They were married in June 1953 and had four children, Yolanda, Martin Luther King III, Dexter Scott and Bernice.
In 1954, while still working on his dissertation, King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church of Montgomery, Alabama. He completed his Ph.D. and earned his degree in 1955. King was only 25 years old.
Montgomery Bus Boycott
On March 2, 1955, a 15-year-old girl refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery city bus in violation of local law. Teenager Claudette Colvin was then arrested and taken to jail.
At first, the local chapter of the NAACP felt they had an excellent test case to challenge Montgomery's segregated bus policy. But then it was revealed that Colvin was pregnant and civil rights leaders feared this would scandalize the deeply religious Black community and make Colvin (and, thus the group's efforts) less credible in the eyes of sympathetic white people.
On December 1, 1955, they got another chance to make their case. That evening, 42-year-old Rosa Parks boarded the Cleveland Avenue bus to go home after an exhausting day at work. She sat in the first row of the "colored" section in the middle of the bus. As the bus traveled its route, all the seats in the white section filled up, then several more white passengers boarded the bus.
The bus driver noted that there were several white men standing and demanded that Parks and several other African Americans give up their seats. Three other African American passengers reluctantly gave up their places, but Parks remained seated.
The driver asked her again to give up her seat and again she refused. Parks was arrested and booked for violating the Montgomery City Code. At her trial a week later, in a 30-minute hearing, Parks was found guilty and fined $10 and assessed $4 court fee.
On the night that Parks was arrested, E.D. Nixon, head of the local NAACP chapter met with King and other local civil rights leaders to plan a Montgomery Bus Boycott. King was elected to lead the boycott because he was young, well-trained with solid family connections and had professional standing. But he was also new to the community and had few enemies, so it was felt he would have strong credibility with the Black community.
In his first speech as the group's president, King declared, "We have no alternative but to protest. For many years we have shown an amazing patience. We have sometimes given our white brothers the feeling that we liked the way we were being treated. But we come here tonight to be saved from that patience that makes us patient with anything less than freedom and justice."
King's skillful rhetoric put new energy into the civil rights struggle in Alabama. The bus boycott involved 382 days of walking to work, harassment, violence, and intimidation for Montgomery's African American community. Both King's and Nixon's homes were attacked.
But the African American community also took legal action against the city ordinance arguing that it was unconstitutional based on the Supreme Court's "separate is never equal" decision in Brown v. Board of Education. After being defeated in several lower court rulings and suffering large financial losses, the city of Montgomery lifted the law mandating segregated public transportation.
Southern Christian Leadership Conference
Flush with victory, African American civil rights leaders recognized the need for a national organization to help coordinate their efforts. In January 1957, King, Ralph Abernathy and 60 ministers and civil rights activists founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to harness the moral authority and organizing power of Black churches. They would help conduct non-violent protests to promote civil rights reform.
King's participation in the organization gave him a base of operation throughout the South, as well as a national platform. The organization felt the best place to start to give African Americans a voice was to enfranchise them in the voting process. In February 1958, the SCLC sponsored more than 20 mass meetings in key southern cities to register Black voters in the South. King met with religious and civil rights leaders and lectured all over the country on race-related issues.
In 1959, with the help of the American Friends Service Committee, and inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's success with non-violent activism, King visited Gandhi's birthplace in India. The trip affected him in a profound way, increasing his commitment to America's civil rights struggle.
African American civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, who had studied Gandhi's teachings, became one of King's associates and counseled him to dedicate himself to the principles of nonviolence. Rustin served as King's mentor and advisor throughout his early activism and was the main organizer of the 1963 March on Washington.

But Rustin was also a controversial figure at the time, being a homosexual with alleged ties to the Communist Party. Though his counsel was invaluable to King, many of his other supporters urged him to distance himself from Rustin.

New Year, New Covid Variant (Omicron)Are We Okay?
We're just 8 days into a new year and another variant is upon us. 2022 already comes with alot of baggage. Omicron Variant is a Variant of SARS-COV-2. The newest variant was established in December of 2021. Cases have sky rocketed since it was first reported by W.H.O in November. Since then many Americans have been exposed to the virus. I'm not here explain the facts of the latest strain, everyone already knows the stats. During the first 5 days of quarantine, what's your mental health like? How are your employers feeling about your absence from work? Let's be honest for those of us who have experienced the virus first hand, do we really trust word from the CDC at this point? I started of the New Year by contracting Omicron. It doesn't matter how careful you are with this new strain, it'll creep on you like a monster in the night. My symptoms included Fatigue, Sore Throat, Body Aches, headache, congestion just to name a few. However everyone's symptoms aren't the same. Many employers are concerned with the number of employees who have been affected by the virus. In March will be the 2 year mark of when the virus first began, so many have been affected by Covid whether its through death, contracting the virus and recovering, or job loss. Even simply deciding to put yourself first by walking away from a job that's only financially beneficial. In the short time you're stuck on bed rest fighting against the virus, you're going to come across certain revelations.
Things you need to consider:
1. Your current job doesn't define you; Do what makes you happy, not just out of obligation.
2. Always put your health first, you're spending so much time trying to improve your life you don't take the time out to actually take care of yourself.
3. All of the negative things you thought that matters really doesn't, let it go.
4. Appreciate & Cherish your love ones.
5. Don't take life to seriously.
