Black History Month
It's February 1st: Do you know where your negritude is?
Dear USA sisters and brothers in negritude:
Today is the 1st of February and the beginning of Black History Month and with this day I present you with a loving challenge: To put aside the sometimes short-sighted definition of "Black" as to mean "African American" and to extend that to the many Black AND African diasporas that live here in the USA.
I challenge you, my dearly beloved brothers and sisters, to look beyond the enthno-centric definitions of Blackness and I most certainly challenge you to look beyond the racial definitions of what it is to be of Africa and a child of her diaspora.
