A Salute to Black History
Understanding Wisdom And FOREVER Appreciating The Past
~ Associate Dean of Business and Information Technologies Division ~ ~ Acting Director of the Small Business Center ~ ~ College Webmaster/BlackBoard/Tegrity Administrator ~
Below
are links that will enrich your knowledge of the past, present, and selfless
contributions made by just a FEW of our MANY great African Americans.
As you read the wealth of information on this page, think about how our
world would be today without the contributions.
Also,
recognize the unbending focus and intensity of their efforts despite repeated
rejections and unfulfilled expectations.
We must continue to remember and respect our heritage by
never saying good-bye to yesterday, for we are still standing on their
shoulders—yesterday made our present possible . . . |

~ BE A SERVANT |
"Your generation, in many respects has it all twisted, it ain't about the ice and the bling-bling, it's about being a servant. Cornel West put it this way; you can't lead the people if you don't love the people. And you can't save the people if you don't serve the people."
|
|
~ BE HUMBLE |
"Because the toes you step on today may be connected to the behind you have to kiss tomorrow." |
