Why "KNOW THYSELF"?
The main reason is that we have never seen Black History as something that could be contained with just a month of activity and remembrance. In our opinion, Black History is ALL of our history, so the month of February had to have another label, another purpose. Thus, "KNOW THYSELF" month.
What we hope to accomplihsh over the next several weeks is to highlight what makes us the people that we are---and who we are becoming. We will present authors to you who run the spectrum of topics: passion, cruelty, wealthy, fidelity, infidelity, rape, same-gender-loving,isolated... You name it, and we have it during the month of February 2007.
As with all of our authors, our purpose is to evoke thought as well as discussion. Maybe we don't know what to say about some of the topics we are discussing, but someone will and it gives us the opportunity to listen.
Check the site on a daily basis to see where additions have been made as well as how you can let your voice be heard. Believe me: we are listening.
