and of course it is NOW Black History Month, a special time when we have the opportunity to understand, even more clearly, how so many artists and writers who have become American legends such as Dr. Angelou and Jean-Michel Basquiat had to struggle to make themselves seen and heard because of race. We are in a better time now although ironically, a difficult time when tensions have again arisen. Let's all work to ensure that we are all heard and not through the filter of something that defines us, yes, but NOT something that stops us. That is the message not only of LIFE25 but should be for us all.
