BLACK HISTORY MONTH ‘ORIGINS’

There’s always a lot of ‘History available during the month of February regarding Black History, the contributions, and culture. FYI- Ava Duvernay‘s film – Origin*.

*Source of excerpt below – https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/origin-movie-review-2023
“Origin” aims to link the violent repercussions of American slavery to the horrific crimes of the Holocaust to India’s degrading caste system in a narrative that combines gnawing grief with a cyclical sense of history. 

But do you know how Black History Month started and when? Are you aware that it was as long ago as 1915?

Below is an excerpt from the History Website

“The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States.”

The History Channel has an in-depth report, which you can acquaint yourself and your families with at the link below.

Cancer Recovery Support App

Every October Breast Cancer Awareness Month is brought to our attention with charities, news, and support.

This year I am introducing the Reach to Recovery app, which you can download, or you can become a volunteer as a survivor of this enormous challenge. Oftentimes when we can speak with someone who has traveled and survived a difficult health challenge, it gives us strength and hope for our own challenging journey.

Look at the YouTube video below and decide for yourself how to take steps in getting support by reviewing what is available.
