In Celebration of Black History Month…

‘One way we can honour the sacrifices made so that we and the coming generations may live freely is to continue to be seekers of truth and seekers of peace not only in October but throughout the year.’ Desmond Tutu.

When you hear of Black History Month, what is it that crosses your mind?

I know what I think when October gets here, I think of celebration, jubilation, victory, and the most importantly I am reminded of the resilience of the human spirit. This year Black History Month is all the more poignant because we mark 200 years since the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, and if that is not a reason to celebrate I don’t know what is.

Let’s take the next few weeks of this month to educate ourselves about our history, let’s take time to remember those who came before us and worked ceaselessly to ensure our freedom, let’s proclaim our heroes, and be motivated by their contributions to society. Be it individually, or collectively make this month a month of jubilation!

Happy Black History Month )
