Kikwetu Coffee

We're with @temi.coker on this one... and in tears! RP from @temi.coker Mix feelings today. On one hand, I’m thankful the system held Derek accountable for his actions, but I can’t help but think of what it would be like if George Floyd was still here. He was a gentle soul. ... #georgefloyd #breath See more

"It is not so much a Negro History [Month] as it is a History [Month]. We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history...The case of the Negro is well taken care of when it is shown how he has influenced the development of civilization". ~Carter G. Woodson, the "Father of Black History Month". The Father of Black History Month, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, was born in1875 near New Canton, VA. He was the son of former slaves. In 1907, he obtained his BA degree fr...om the University of Chicago. In 1912, he received his PhD from Harvard University. In 1915, he and friends established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. A year later, theJournal of Negro History, began quarterly publication. In 1926, Woodson proposed and launched the annual February observance of Negro History Week, which became Black History Month in 1976. It is said that he chose February for the observance because February 12th was Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and February 14th was the accepted birthday of Frederick Douglass. Dr. Woodson was the founder of Associated Publishers, the founder and editor of theNegro History Bulletin, and the author of more than 30 books. His best known publication isThe Mis-Education of the Negro, originally published in 1933 and still pertinent today. He died in 1950, but Dr. Woodson’s scholarly legacy goes on.

60 years ago, little Ruby Bridges [ @rubybridgesofficial ] broke down a barrier in education that opened doors for little Black girls and boys everywhere. And today, a Black and South Asian woman Kamala Harris [ @kamalaharris ], is our country’s first Female Vice President. Our hearts are absolutely full right now.! ... SOME HISTORY Over the past 231 years, without interruption in the U.S., nobody but white men have been Vice President. And that lineage has now been broken. This is HUGE!
