In the spirit of African American spirituality I submit Black History is a touch stone that should begin in its appointed month, and be propelled into the upcoming months with Nguzo Saba's 7 principles starting with Kujichagulia, self-determination. Self-determination is the basis of identity reconstruction. Keeping it very simple start with the spiritual discipline of changing the voices inside your head. Maya Angelou's words are as good as scripture.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style” ~ Maya Angelou
