Blog to Restart Soon

Hello to all of my followers. I apologize for not blogging as of late. I am adjusting back to college life as I have began school again. I attend Ashford University and I have had make a lot of changes. I will begin my blog again soon and I wish blessings upon you.

Long Delay

Sorry to all of my followers for the long delay in this blog. I have been busy with taking classes at Ashford University. However, I am planning to make up for lost time. I want to carry a theme of education during Black History Month. I will be talking about historical figures of the past and present who were pivotal in the field of education. Thanks for bearing with us and we appreciate your support.

What Black History Means?

So many great shoulders to stand on. So many voices with which to identify. I listen and stand. I am so grateful to those who have paved the way. The way to more opportunities and more awareness. I am currently a student majoring in Education and Public Policy. When I think of my opportunity to influence the educational system in such a way, I think of them. I think back to the case of Brown vs. Board of Education and the emergence of Thurgood Marshall as a leader in the early moments of the civil rights movement. This is the civil rights of all men, not just of those of color. Although the presence of racism and prejudice is still apparent, we still see momentum from the March on Selma. The bible tells us to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves. Let us grow to that point and place. I was so happy to see the crowning of the leader of the free world this past election period. My being black is not the sole reason. I was glad to see white folks and other races clapping and cheering as well. So, let us remember that even though we may be different races and creed, the blood in our veins flows red.
