Celebrating Black History Month

Dear ,
We celebrate Black History Month because it is important for what African Americans went through in the past. It is also important because African Americans have done many things for our nation. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood up for black people. He protected the blacks from the whites. I selected this poem because it shows a lot of emotional and strong words. It also tells you about money over family or friends. This poem made me sad and emotional because she is telling you that it was very hard for the African Americans in the older days because they really didnt have a lot of money they only had family.

We Alone By; Alice Walker

We alone can devalue gold by not caring if it falls or rises in the marketplace. Wherever there is gold there is a chain, you know, and if your chain is gold so much the worse for you. Feathers, shells and seashaped stones are all as rare. This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
