Real Progressives Celebrates Black History Month
February is the month assigned to celebrate the history of a people that are the backbone of the United States of America. Much of the hard labor necessary to transform this land from a wilderness to the preeminent power of the world was and is performed by these people of different shades, origins, and beliefs.
Let us use this time to reflect on the great sacrifice of a people that have never been able to reap the full benefits of their hard labor.
