Black History: The Path We Tread

[ST21]

THANKS MATTY FOR ALLOWING ME TO WRITE THIS:

I thought about this for awhile, what does Black History means to me, and I can go down the list of all the great accomplishments that African Americans have made in History and in life and its many, way more than even as a African American I know, so I want pretend that I'm a expert on the subject, because I probably should know alot more than I do. Ok I know that we have over come great odds in History,...but so have other cultures, to me BH is about everyone understanding what part we play in life, the way we treat people, talk to people, help people, and respect each other difference....that's the most important one of all...because face it or not...our cultures are what make us different, our looks our skin color our taste for life, but isn't that what make us different, but the same, I have many friends of different back ground and cultures, and they tell me that to them they are color blind...."color blind" I say....please explain and they would say almost the same, that they don't see color in people, and Iwould respond that's wrong "because in a color blind world, everything is still Black and White, so there is no escaping it, we must reconize the difference in others and ourselves......African Americans have came along way in making strides to be successful and making our mark in this country, and so to me BH has a new meaning every year. BH should have a great meaning to all of us, it shouldn't just mean that Black Americans have a month out of the year to celebrate its history, It should mean we all have something to celebrate, whether your black or not. Isn't that what history is all about. ( I want to dedicate this to all African Americans, who have pathe the way for me and all younger generation AA to become and be the best)
