It's important to know about black history month. It's also important to know those who paved the way for us as a people to celebrate this beautiful month. Carter G. Woodson is the Founder of Negro Week, now famously known for Black History Month. Mr. Woodson earned his M.A from University of Chicago and Ph. D from Harvard University. I could spend hours telling you what other achievements this man has obtained but you will be reading a list of accomplishments for hours. So I would like to leave you with some of his quotes that inspired many successful African Americans today.
"In our so-called democracy we are accustomed to give the majority what they want rather than educate them to understand what is best for them".
"In the long run, there is not much discrimination against superior talent".
"Our most widely known scholars have been trained in universities outside of the South".
And these last quotes by Mr. Woodson is probably the best I've ever read..
"The different ness of races, moreover, is no evidence of superiority or of inferiority. This merely indicates that each race has certain gifts which the others do not possess".
"When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions".
Great article...Keep up the good work
