I was serving in my church yesterday doing lights. The school that I was in had decorations up for Black history month. Looking at them reminded me of when I was in school we were taught both the black national anthem and the Puerto Rican national anthem. I wondered if the school we were having church in was doing the same thing. I always had such pride singing the black anthem because I came from a family that had pride in being black. The school I was in was a public school and as you all know, public school has the reputation for being bad.(deserved) I think back and think that no matter what my school lacked, they always taught you to love yourself for who you are. I wonder if my youngest nieces and nephew are having a sense of pride in their blackness instilled in them. To this day I can sing most if not all the words to the anthem on the spot. Happy black history month everyone!
