It's a time to celebrate, remember, study, read, discuss and give homage to our African-American heroes, and their collective contributions past and present.
From Rosa Parks, to Martin Luther King, to Maya Angelou, to President Barack Obama--they have all exemplified what it means to be Black, strong, beautiful and proud.
Whether you are a teacher of young children, or a parent of a young Black child, spend some time this month sharing their rich history and the sacrifices made by their ancestors for the liberties and opportunities they enjoy today.
Find ways to show them their legacy is full of leaders, kings, and queens.
And in so doing, you may just plant a seed for our future Black president, Pulitzer Prize winner, or influential thought leader.
Happy Black History Month. May it be filled with memories you'll treasure...and things that make you proud.
