February is Black History month, but why limit yourself to learning about your history or other people’s history just once a year. Visit these sites and pass the information on.

Revolution started many years ago on the back of the broken-hearted, resulting from

Evil men’s egos who thought it was okay to enslave the mind and

Violate the body and whoever was against it were either maimed or killed

Only the strong survived. Now here we are in a new day and time, some of us

Living life recklessly, leaving the memory of our ancestors behind

United we must stand, because history shows how far divided we can fall

Too many people fought and died for the things we now enjoy

Instead of complaining, be thankful and be ready for action when injustice surfaces

Oppressed? Distressed?  Then take the time to think of some solutions

Not being complacent with inequality is only the beginning of the REVOLUTION
