And so….

And so as Black History Month approaches,
my mind goes out once again to our youth.
With a media hell bent on reporting only knife and gun crime,
the constant digestion and regurgitation of subversive entertainment on channels which are nothing but BASE,
I salute the men and women who dedicate their energies and attentions to capturing the receptive minds of our future empoweing them to a higher plane.
Reminding us of where we came from, so we can know where we are going
Celebrating our successes, the glue that binds together a somewhat fractured community
Elevating the positive, reminding those battered by miseducation and misguidance, that their is a path less trodden which
When followed can produce fathers and mothers with a sense of identity,
that is passed wholly on to a generation,
breaking the legacy of negativity that is so pervasive and for some gives a false sense of pride
It’s more than a month, we should be making Black History every day
and so, it’s over to you now champions
over to you
