THANKFUL FOR LUCILLE CLIFTON

Today I’m thankful for people… in a country where freedom has never been as easy for everyone as it should be… who are courageous enough to teach are country’s true history. People like Lucille Clifton…a famous poet who knew Teaching an alternative form of history was absurd… I think she said it best so I’ll leave you with her words When faced with being taught a different history than she knew and lived She respectfully declined, Saying… They ask me to remember But they want me to remember their memories and I keep on remembering mine.
