BLACK HISTORY MONTH; Black Health and Wellness

Black History Month serves
As a reminder year after year
Of lifetimes, of lessons
Joys, grievances and tears

A reminder of the resilience of the human spirit
It pulls us back to the struggles
And achievements of people
Of African descent

Are we not all from that original continent?
Shall we not all seek to understand
The trail of histories that
Bring us to the same place
That makes us the human race

Black History Month
A trigger for reflection
A trigger for unification
A time to understand and come together
