February 2010

February is dedicated to the celebration and education of the impact and victories of the African-American community. It is easy to allow this time of reflection to cause division as we think back on how divided we used to be and how hateful we were to someone just because they were a different color. However, this should be a time to recognize and celebrate the individuals who made such large sacrifices to create unity in our country and remember that we still need to continue to fight for that today. It is a time to remember that we are ONE nation, under GOD, INDIVISIBLE, with liberty and justice for ALL.

We have had many amazing individuals in the African-American community who were either from the Columbus, GA area or had a large impact on this…
