Special Episode: Celebrating Black History Month 2015

This special episode is in Celebrating Black History Month.  We will be recognizing the unsung heroes as the month of February provides special attention on the lives of those of African descent.  It is one thing to remember the ones who we all know like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, Mrs. Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Ms. Harriett Tubman, Mr. Frederick Douglass, and many others.  However, we would also like to shine light on some individuals who have made great accomplishments and sacrifices in their lives and in turn has impacted the lives of others.  

There are many before us who have been trailblazers, such as Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first African-American female to receive her medical degree in the USA,Mr. Hiram Revels, the first African-American to become a US Congressmen, Dr. Guion Stewart “Guy” Bluford, Jr., the first African-American astronaut to actually travel in space, Mr. Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American to become a US Supreme Court Justice, and Madam CJ Walker, the first American woman to become a millionaire.  Let us not forget a recent accomplishment in having the first African-American president of the USA, Mr. Barack Obama.  

Notice that we are sharing the stories of just a few African-Americans who were the first to achieve some major accomplishments.  Now the question is what will you be the first at?  We have no excuse as the ceiling for Arican-Americans to reach their biggest goals and dreams has been BROKEN.

YOU ARE BLACK HISTORY!!
