Happy February!
It's cold all over the country. I would never have imagined wind chills below zero degrees here in Fort Worth, TX. Wow!
As one of the host cities of Super Bowl XLV, excitement has been buzzing for quite sometime. Our family will be watching the game on T.V. along with many other Americans. However, we stopped by the stadium to experience the scene a week before the big game day. So we were there!
The same goes for history. Yes, we were there. Many nameless African Americans were figures in the story of our wonderful nation. She has not always been good to our people. However, there is no place like the United States of America. African Americans have prospered from the cotton fields of the South to the Presidency of the United States of America. In between are many like ourselves that carry no special titles, but live each day enjoying the freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
This month's selections are :
