As a weeklong celebration, the great historian Carter G. Woodson founded it; it now takes in the whole month of February, and it is my hope and prayer that we will not limit the celebration of our history to one month because we make history every day.
It is a time when we give our children knowledge of their past.
It is when we celebrate our achievements in a country that has tried to keep us from achieving.
It is a time when we present ourselves to the world so that humanity will know and can see what God has done in the past, what he is doing in the present, and what he will do in the future to liberate us, His people, in this land which caused our fore-parents to sing: "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child!"
If you think that we are free, you better think again. I believe that God has told us that we shall be free. Sane folks feel we shall never be free, but the Word of God, the Spirit of Truth, and the pages of History say, "That's a lie that cannot stand." As long as God gives us strength, we should keep on striving, and as President John F. Kennedy said, "We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, and oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty."
