The World Is A System
What does black history mean to you?
Are you fed up of just getting information on slavery when researching black history?
History is written by the victors, which is why it is so hard to find positive history facts on people of colour. But they will tell you all about slavery which they claim they are sorry for but when you hear about slavery how does it make you feel...? Angry? Sad? Confused? So you just being taught about the negative sides of black history is putting black people down almost saying that we were never good enough.
How much more positive would it be to say to ALL children and adults look at Walter Tull, Mary Prince, Mary Seacole, Bessie Coleman, Dr Daniel Hale Williams, Madam C J Walker, Henry Blair, George Washington Carver, Sarah Boone, John Hanson, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and the list this endless, these people endured slavery, racism, segregation, and so much more, but yet they all over came these barriers and still achieved amazing things and all have contributed so much to world history not just black history.
Most of these great people couldn't even read or write and would have to sign with an X. So if these great heroic icons can achieve what they did in their time then any of us can achieve what we want in this time!!
Black History Should be about restoring positive black heroic icons back to their rightful place and Remembering them for all their great successes and achievements.
If you know or have children, you are a young adult, or a big adult this is for you black, white, yellow or brown! Its world history and its about REAL positive role models!
SELF EDUCATION IS THE BEST EDUCATION.
Knowledge Of Self Is Power.
Knowledge Is King
