The Power of Faith and the Pride of Family: A Black History Month Reflection
Throughout February, like many families around the nation, my family has been intentional in honoring and remembering the people, places, and periods of black American history that have charted a people’s journey from then until now. American descendants of slavery have always served as America’s mirror. In us, America sees her prejudice and her prosperity, her evil and her evolution, her guilt and her glory. There are two absolutes we cannot escape when considering this history: the power of faith and the pride of the family.
