Black Power On the Move

Black power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny (Huey Newton)

It is black history month, the month where the most of us take pride and destiny in our culture. We celebrate the month of February for the achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans through history. Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, Carter Woodson, Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King, Ruby Bridges etc. All of these people are inspirational in the world we live in today by establishing a better world for generations to come.
