On May 17th in Black History

1875 – Oliver Lewis wins first Kentucky Derby.

1881 – Frederick Douglass appointed recorder of deeds for District of Columbia

Who would have thought such a great career of activism, oratory and humanity would have started with such an humble appointment. Frederick Douglass is one of the greatest men ever produced by the hell America put on Black people. We would be wise to honor his story and legacy.

1954 – Brown v Board of Education, declaring public school segregation illegal, handed down by the Supreme Court.

The landmark case of the Civil Rights era had to be Brown v Board of Education. It was the United States Supreme Court ruling that declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional.

Our history has a long, glorious and bright light that has shown since the dawn of time. However, it has long been hidden from us as if we were blind.

Now is the time to come together and consciously grow our understanding of our ancestors, culture, history and place in this world. The only way we can do this tie the knot of our past with our present to create the future we all desire.
