“African Awareness Month” (also called “Black History
Month”) is celebrated in the month of February in the United
States of America and in Canada. It is a celebration of the
contributions of African and African American people have made
to these countries and the collective human experience.
It is also a reminder that human history is a collective and all
groups have made significant contributions. Ultimately a greater
understanding of the contributions that different groups have
made to our human history will bring us closer to understanding
that we are all a part of the same human family and there is
only one “race” of people, the “human race!”
“Black History Month” was created by a historian Carter G
Woodson in 1926 as “Negro History” week and later evolved into
an entire month of celebrations! For the month of February I
will post quotes by famous African and African American people!
My purpose for sharing these inspirational quotes with you is to
encourage you and I to think about our lives in a different way,
perhaps a more positive way. By changing the way we think and
talk about our lives in this precious moment we have an
opportunity to create a more enjoyable life experience.

“No part of our legacy is more valuable
than the unique ethical teaching of the Odu Ifa,
the sacred text of our Yoruba ancestors,
that we and all humans are divinely chosen
to bring good into the world and that this is
the fundamental meaning and mission of human life.”
Dr. Maulana Karenga

“As we move into the next decade and new era,
no lesson is more important for us to learn
from our history and culture than our need
to recognize our interrelatedness as a people
and part of humanity and our parallel need
to establish and put into wider practice
an ethics of sharing which recognizes and builds
on this interrelatedness in the most positive
and mutually beneficial ways. In fact,
this is an indispensable way to fulfill
and further our moral obligation
to constantly bring good into the world.”

“And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face...
and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace.
Then why do we keep strangling life wound this Earth, crucify its soul.
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly.
We could be God's glow... Heal the world.” Michael Jackson
