AQUARIUS AND BLACK HISTORY MONTH

FIRST DAY OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH, THE SHORTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR. It has been debated among Black Scholars, Activists, and Icons that Black History Month during February, the shortest month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, is a  attempt to minimize and undermine the work and impact of Black people in the United States of America  February in that during the Astrological calendar; it falls during Aquarius season. For many of us here on Planet Earth, it can be very easy to forget the influence of the stars in our daily lives, and yet, as beings made up of 60% water, when our moon pulls our planet's tides, we too must be affected.In 1897, it was proposed by Mary Church Terrell, an educator and  activist, that there should be a holiday in DC-area "colored schools" and a day to celebrate the life and work of the late abolitionist Fredrick Douglas. The school board landed on February 14th because this was the date that Douglass celebrated his birthday. Carter G Woodson,  referred to as "the father of Black History."  the son of two formerly enslaved people.  worked in a coal mine before receiving his Master's at University of Chicago. Upon attending the Lincoln Jubilee in the summer of 1915 , he did more work on honoring Black history. Woodson formed  the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Woodson believed "if a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated." Having no history as a race also allows for those in power to decide your history for you.  https://septenarygematria.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/o-ye-drybones-archive--6500709/support.
