The Black History month epidsode was on point. Ebony Jackson seemed to be the catalyst of the past and future roads as these roads related to our history. I think the message of how this generation lives in the now without much thought for our origin should not be overlooked. It seems that social media will be the new way to keep our history fresh and more importantly alive. Recently, Texas put into effect a very conservative education curriculum that excludes some very crucial information about people of color in American history, though they did elect to have information about the NRA. We must never think we have arrived. We must use every opportunity we can including social media, books, mass media etc. to keep telling our story. Rest assure that if we won't tell it no one will.
