Have Character? Thoughts to end Black History Month… February 29, 2012

I’m guest posting today for Enuma Okoro, author of The Reluctant Pilgrim.  From the post…It’s the last day of Black History month.   Is there anything exciting about ending a month where many of us aren’t even sure what exactly we are supposed to be doing during Black History Month?  Is the month set aside to merely think about what blacks have done?  I have a friend that posted important inventions by black inventors on his Facebook wall every day during Black History Month. I loved that he did that, yet it left me feeling hollow.  Isn’t our black history more than the sum of the scientific and artistic inventors?  It took me a while to figure out why this particular focus on inventors left me wanting.  And then it hit me: leadership.

Happy Black History Month, everyone!
