If Black History Month is going to remain culturally relevant, then we must use it as a time to reflect, not only on where we’re going but on where we came from. Black history is all around us; we just need the month to remind us to look. Or as Booker T. Washington put it, “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”
