BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL　- 黒人文化コミュのAFRICAN AWARENESS MONTH 2011

“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!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR FAVORITE QUOTES BY PEOPLE OF
AFRICAN DECENT!

“We can work together for a better world with men and women of goodwill,
those who radiate the intrinsic goodness of humankind.
To do so effectively, the world needs a global ethic with values
which give meaning to life experiences and, more than religious institutions and dogmas,
sustain the non-material dimension of humanity. Mankind's universal values of love,
compassion, solidarity, caring and tolerance should form the basis for this global ethic
which should permeate culture, politics, trade, religion and philosophy.
It should also permeate the extended family of the United Nations.” Wangari Maathai
