Rethinking History
Black History Month passed without much fanfare around these parts. I've yet to decide whether I should feel guilty. Like Mother's Day or Valentine's Day, I've always seen it as a 24/7 agenda, not something to be lost and found one month per year. But truth be told, today's a good day as any to ground, expand, and explore knowledge of self . The links I did find weren't the most encouraging, but they do trigger thought. I imagine it's the reason February was put on reserve in the first place.
