Happy (Almost) Black History Month!!!

I sure do love the month of February!

It's technically the beginning of the year so I still feel "fresh". 

It's the "month of love" where I get chocolates in the mail from my Grandpa. 

And.... it's Black History Month. 

This year,  Black History Month is extra special for a couple of reasons. 

1. It's the 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation

2. It's the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington

3. We are celebrating the 2nd term of President Barack Obama

How cool is that, people?!

To ring in Black History Month, I went to a local Worship and Celebration event sponsored by Visions of Hope. My favorite parts were the choir that sang a medley of church songs, a dialogue (mini play)  between President Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas, the teenager who played Amazing Grace on his trumpet!, and an up and coming artist, Troy Anthony, who sang a couple songs about Victory. 

It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, that's for sure. 

It's coming...

Black History Month will be here in 5 days y'all :)
