BLACK HISTORY, AFRICA, BET, JET & EBONY ALL RELATED?

Some often question why Black History, BET, Africa, Jet, Ebony & Black History Month necessary. They are all related and very behind in high lighting Black Beauty, Achievements and the struggle. No one can write a history of a particular group accurately; without the group's participation. This is why it is extremely vital for Black participation in history.

Also, highlight people like Princess Elizabeth of Toro. A beautiful modern day Princess, who is an African, Model, Actress, Activist, etc. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah from Ghana who played a critical role in the Civil Rights Movement. You will not hear about these people and others who have made significant difference in society. A book by Daniel Laine` called "AFRICAN KINGS" also mentions the Kings and Queens; in Africa who kept up with the culture and values, while making a difference in politics. So if BET, Ebony, Jet, Black History Month exist; they must be honored! Without them, Black History will not be heard or told.

Can you believe Gop Rep. Michele Bachman is saying about Slavery, with Black History 2011 around the corner? www.africanclothes22.com

I was reading an article about CNN Anderson Cooper's "keeping them honest" conversation with GOP Rep. Michele Bachman. She referred to her "founding fathers" helping slaves and finally freeing them! Wait a minute Rep. Bachman, why did slavery start anyway? Who was helping who? Slaves were taking against their wishes and forced; some even died in the process of fighting "not" to come to America. The slaves had parents in Africa, some were fathers, husbands, aunts, sisters, brothers, uncles, kings, queens, princes, princesses, professionals, children, etc. What were the Africans told and promised to go into slavery? Who really benefitted from slavery? Maybe, Rep. Michele Bachman need to sit down with someone and go over the facts about slavery. Her remarks are very inaccurate and insensitive, especially with Black History Month 2011 around the corner. These ignorant comments are not only insult to us; but divides us, when we are all trying to unite and help one another. She needs to apologize, what do you think?

Why is Black History Month relevant in Africa and in American? www.africanclothes22.com

The questions start pouring in around this time every year. "Why do we need Black History Month?" We need Black History Month to teach ourselves and our children about our ancestors and the living. The history of Africa as a continent is very relevant to Black History and Black History Month. People need to know their ancestors were and are Kings and Queens in Africa! There were African Presidents like Dr.Kwame Nkrumah who were very instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement here in America. These lessons are not taught in schools so without Black History Month to highlight these men and women in Africa, how can Black History be complete without our source, Africa? Children in Africa also need to know Black History and how we are all related and can help and lift each other up, regardless. With President Barack Obama, leading as an example and hope for everyone; even little children in Africa and all over the world can dream and make their dreams come true! So African History, Black History, Black History Month are all one, and originated from the source, Africa. You may also visit the Latibah Museum or http://www.latibahmuseum.org/, to get more information.
