History isn't about boring us with details of the past. And black history isn't just about slavery and racism. It's a story - our story - with tales of successes and failures, perseverance, and determination. It's a story of people who have achieved despite the obstacles in their paths. It's a story of a people would refused to let others rule them or break their spirits. It's a story that shows our limitless potential. And it's a story that shows that despite stereotypes and misconceptions, we are a superior people.
The
28 Bios of Blackness were provided to serve as inspiration for our young people to show that nothing is unattainble. These bios aren't just to show what others did, but to show us what we can do. We can learn not only from the mistakes of the past, but also from the accomplishments to inspire us to achieve great things.
