28 Days
America claims that all are created equal is the foundation that we’re built on.
Well, if that is true why Americans of African descent only get 28 days.
28 days to tell about great leaders, Such as, Harold Washington, General Colin
Powell, Carol Mosley Braun and others. 28 days to talk about inventors like
Lonnie Johnson the inventor of the Super Soaker, or Dr. Patricia Bath who
invented a better surgery procedure for cataracts. 28 days to talk about writers
and poets such as Dr. Maya Angelou, Rita Dove, Langston Hughes and hopefully
one day soon myself Ronald Smith. 28 days is not nearly enough time to talk
about these and other great American of African descent. Americans of African
descent have fledged their foot prints in the soil of America since this country
have been founded and if America’s foundation is all are created equal then we
need the history of Americans of African descent to be talked about 365 days not
just 28 days.
