Happy Black History Month!

February is Black History Month!

Black History Month was created to celebrate, educate, honor and appreciate the complex and rich history and culture of the Black and African-American community. It goes without saying that Black history is American history, how are you celebrating this month? Are there any historical facts, books, movies, shows, cultural events, etc. that you're interested in for Black History Month? Granted you can do all of this throughout the year as well. There is just so much out there to learn and know more about.

With that said, Happy Black History Month, everyone!

What's On Tonight (Monday 2/17): On TV: A Black History Month Special and Rescue: Hi-Surf

It's Monday, what are you watching tonight?

There's On TV: Black History Month Special centered on TV shows and a new episode of Rescue: Hi-Surf. For the special it will be interesting to see what shows and characters are highlighted. And which actors they are going to talk to.

And for Rescue: Hi-Surf, according to the description, Hina is going to be dealing with some family issues. I wonder what that's about? And it looks like Em and Will are trying to get over their feelings for each other by being with other people. If they are doing this, that just shows how much they really care about each other. I do wonder if the writers ever plan on putting them together for real because I like them together. They're a little dysfunctional but it works for them.

Quote: Ida B. Wells-Barnett

"The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them." ~ Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1931)

Ida B. Wells was a groundbreaking journalist and a strong activist using her articles and her voice to fight against lynching, segregation and women's equality. She believed in the power of the press and hoped that by putting the truth out there it could bring change.

Today is the birthday of the late civil rights icon Rosa Parks and I just wanted to leave you with this quote:

"I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear." ~ Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
