Educating & Empowering

February was a very educational month. At my age, I am still learning and I still get so excited when I find out more about those who have accomplished so much.

Did you know?
Dr. Carter G. Woodson
Launched Negro History Week in 1926, chosen in the second week of
February between the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln,
which evolved into Black History Month in 1976.

A special thank you to Rev. Marquis Cooper, Sr. It was an honor to be invited to the Black History Program & Author showcase, in Little Rock, Arkansas. This was an awesome program, which was lead by our youth. The youth displayed so much talent. There was prayer, vocal selections, a dance recital, instrumental solo, spoken word, and a skit. These powerful and inspirational performances were just another opportunity to not only display the talents and skills of our youth, but also a demonstration of concern, love, and motivation from our parents and community leaders.
