Our Black History is Substantial and worth appreciation and acknowledgment by all! In a society that overlooks minority accomplishments and has a short memory when it comes to the work and achievements of Black writers, doctors, scientists, researchers, explorers, farmers, soldiers, policymakers, advocates, teachers, athletes, entrepreneurs, leaders, innovators, and sheer phenomenal human-beings, it is a must that we continue the great work of Dr. Carter G. Woodson. February is #BlackHistoryMonth, but make no mistake, we make history daily. #wearesubstantial
