Yay! This is my second favorite month of the year.
FEBRUARY 2, 2017 — Began Black History Month, the annual celebration dedicated to the study and celebration of centuries of African American contributions and experiences.
Kelly C. Pressley Sr. 02/19/17- 1/23/09 One “One Heck Of A Man”
We celebrate Black History Month by education, empowerment and expriements. To dismiss the opportunity to reclaim our rich history is a diservice to not only my ancestor, myself but also my children and thier children. The information is out there. The elder have stories just waiting for a silent ear to share their first hand stories with. Don’t rely on tv or typical school books to tell you your history.
My Black history begins with my grandfather, Mr Kelly Ceaser Pressley Sr.
He suceeded at many things including fatherhood to 12 children, a husband, rail road staff, shop owner, barber, shoe maker, logger, Mason lodge #358, farmer, “Honoray Police, and Reverend.”
(See, you can’t blame me for being such a busy body. It’s in my blood. I sincerly look up to this man. Even with flaws that he proudly overcame.)
How much do you know about Black History Month? Take the quiz.
Every day provides a learning opportunity for black history. President Jimmy Carter added in 1978 that the celebration “provides for all Americans a chance to rejoice and express pride in a heritage that adds so much to our way of life.
This year, President Trump issued a proclamation Thursday declaring February as National African American History Month. The text names Katherine Johnson, a mathematician and one of three black women whose roles in the space race were featured in the recent film “Hidden Figures.”
Let’s add our stories. Let’s create amazing history to share with our future seeds. Let’s make this Black History Month the beginning of something remarkable that our children will be proud of and will educate our cultural counterparts! 
This month at Kelle’s Higher learning Center, we will cover major four subjects:
- Law: “If you don’t know your rights or the laws, how do you know if they’re being violated? We will cover laws that were made to protect, hurt and empwer African Americans . We will also make up a few of our own.
Health: Total Wellness with a focus on holistic prevention, advances and discoveries.
- History:
“[I]f a nation understands its history, it is a wonderful tool to help a nation figure out how they live their lives, how to understand the conditions they face,” Mr. Bunch told The Christian Science Monitor. “It is this tension between the joy of history and then using that as a weapon, as a tool, as a way to better understand who we are – to provide contextualization, and maybe on good days, a little healing and reconciliation.”
This study will begin with our family. All four sides -paternal and maternal. And it will include a visit to the Museum Of The New South .
- Science & Technology: African American contributions and hands own experiments.
