February: Black History Season

The history of Black People, And all of our People should be celebrated Year-round: every day, week, month, and decade. The celebration must go on unabated, All the time. The first couple, Ever existed, had dark skin, said Many credible historians, Archeologists and great citizens. The month of February is evidently too short. Twenty-eight days are not enough, To commemorate our Brave People, who've fought And defeated ignorance, bigotry and slavery. Three hundred and sixty-five days are not enough, To honor the struggle of the Slaves who were brought To different parts of the world. A century Is not enough. Many centuries are not enough. We need, every day of the almanac, To celebrate, to remember the first Black Couple, our Ancestors, Our Brothers and Sisters.
