Happy Black History Month
Wake up, wake up, wake up, it's the first of the month!
The first day of this month also marks the beginning of Black History Month 2011, a time to remember, commemorate, and celebrate inspirational people of the past who have contributed to African/Black people all around the world.
This month, CAA encourages you to think of your own Historic Black figure. Consider their struggles, their work, their passion and their power to trigger change.
We also remind you that these capabilities lie within all of us.
Happy Black History Month Ya'll!
Bless Up,
CAA exec.
