Rosa Parks , MLK , Malcolm X , to those who stood up for equality , who pushed against authority , to be seen as more as just a minority , this month goes to you , those very few that knew that all black people are special and should take pride in being black....
Indeed black lives matter , in fact all lives matter , whether this month is to celebrate black excellence or not..... be proud of you , understand that many before you fought , so we could have equal rights , equal say , so at last we could at least say hooray , so we could speak , so we could shout , that our voices be heard.....
Celebrate this month with joy , happiness and if you have to cry to deep those who fought so hard for moments like these , go ahead , turn each teardrop afterwards in to euphoria , into delight , into a smile so bright , for they did not do this in vain , they withstood so much , I could hardly imagine the pain they went through for this gain....
Despite this month , celebrate who you are daily , although i speak of black history month , I also speak to everyone , be comfortable in your identity , in your skin , in who you are because you can only be yourself and that fact in its self , is a testament of empowerment , of greatness , of just pure awe that you alone should always adore...
In essence happy black history month and a happy day to all of you...
