From the American Revolution to the present, African American women have played a myriad of critical roles in the making of our nation. Their labor and leadership, their motherhood and patriotism, and their intellect and artistic expression have all enriched both the African American community and the nation at large. In slavery and freedom, their struggles have been at the heart of the human experience, and their triumphs over racism and sexism are a testimonial to our common human spirit.
For the entire month of February I will give you a little known Black History fact - the purpose is to educate people about African-American history, focusing on African Americans' cultural backgrounds and reputable achievements. This is also a way to show how they have made a difference in the world as we know it. Enjoy!
