The reason we have a Black History Month in the first place is because of our inability (largely because of being displaced from our motherland) to preserve our story over the generations and communicate our greatness to younger generations. When we know not where we've come from, we have no idea where we're going, and the same principle applies with Christian living. We need to know how God has delivered our family members in generations past so we'll remember how good God has been to us and serve God even the more. We must not forget to remember, lest we perish.
