Since the start of Black History Month I've been very active reading about those before us and posting some of what I know and new knowledge I've learned. I can across a post this morning and it was very interesting one. When it comes to Black History a lot of us including myself tend to focus on the injustice of black people. That's including the Civil rights movement down to slavery, but there is another chapter to our History. One that is more Beautiful and just as educational Infact, it maybe more valuable than anything we will ever learn. All that's needed, is picking up a book or two with a little research, and watch the miracle of Wisdom and Knowledge set in. Next Up: Mvemba a Nzinga or Nzinga Mbemba (c. 1456–1542 or 1543), also known as King Afonso I, was a ruler of the Kingdom of Kongo in the first half of the 16th century. He reigned over the Kongo Empire from 1509 to late 1542 or 1543. Born Mvemba a Nzinga, he was the son of Manikongo (Mwene Kongo) (king) Nzinga a Nkuwu, the fifth king of the Kongo dynasty. At the time of the first arrival of the Portuguese to the Kingdom of the Kongo's capital of M'banza-Kongo in 1491, Mvemba a Nzinga was in his thirties, and was the ruler of Nsundi province in the northeast, and the likely heir to the throne. He took the name Afonso when he was baptized after his father decided to convert to Christianity. He studied with Portuguese priests and advisers for ten years in the kingdom's capital. Letters written by priests to the king of Portugal paint Afonso as an enthusiastic and scholarly convert to Christianity. Around 1495, the Manikongo denounced Christianity, and Afonso welcomed the priests into the capital of his Nsundi province. To the displeasure of many in the realm, he had traditional art objects that might offend Portuguese sensibilities destroyed. #nzingambemba #blackking #blackhistory #blackeducation #blackpeopl #blackbusiness #blackcommunity #blackknowledge #blacklivesmatter #blackman #blackvoice #blackhistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlXW_0HlkJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=blj8oidsaat5

Creativity, now that's something I love to speak. It is what we as #blackpeople have in us, it's the type of thinking that will help you persevere against all odds. Just when things look as if there is no where to go, it's the end of the line then BOOM, here comes the best part of being Black. You're Creativity to the rescue, we all have it, it's just a matter of searching ourselves. Next Up: Garrett Augustus Morgan, Sr. (March 4, 1877 [sometimes given as 1879] – July 27, 1963) was anAfrican American inventor and businessman as well as an influential political leader. Morgan's most notable invention was the gas mask originally named "smoke hood". Morgan also discovered and developed a chemical hair-processing and straightening solution. He created a successful company based on the discovery along with a complete line of hair-care products. Garrett Morgan invented the gas mask and the traffic signal: He was granted a patent on Nov. 20, 1923, to produce a T-shaped traffic signal after witnessing an accident between an automobile and a horse-drawn carriage. Morgan had to quit school at a young age in order to work full-time. Morgan was able to hire a tutor and continue his studies while working in Cincinnati. In 1895, he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he began repairing sewing machines for a clothing manufacturer. This experience with repairing sewing machine was the impetus for Morgan's interest in how things work. His first invention, developed during this period, was a belt fastener for sewing machines. Throughout this period of time, before his first patent in 1912, he was slowly building his reputation in Cleveland for his skill at fixing things. #garrettmorgan #blackhistory #blackeducation #blackpeopl #blackbusiness #blackcommunity #blackknowledge #blacklivesmatter #blackman #blackvoice https://www.instagram.com/p/Bti6qannWgj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rtvbqbi6ur5w

One voice is all that's needed. I can remember when #presidentobama first took office. Man it was something to see, black people all over was so happy. It was as if Obama was a cool, drink of water in a scorching desert of racism and hate flooding America. And in a since he was, but he wasn't the first. It's in our History, our DNA to be a drink of water for those that are being scorched by oppression. All we have to do, is study our History. Next Up: Booker Taliaferro Washington (c. 1856 – November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and advisor to presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. #bookertwashington #blackhistory #blackeducation #blackpeopl #blackbusiness #blackcommunity #blackknowledge #blacklivesmatter #blackman #blackvoice https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgXDhzn6Qk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14atrozls1e7n

When it comes to education in the America school system, Black people tend to get cheated out of knowing our history and key elements of being financially responsible, Investing and building a business. This is why it is important to know our History so we can follow the foot prints our those before us. Education to the level of Prestige is truly in our DNA, don't believe me? Start your own Research. Next up: George Washington Carver (1860s – January 5, 1943), was an American agricultural scientist and inventor. He actively promoted alternative crops to cotton and methods to prevent soil depletion. While a professor at Tuskegee Institute, Carver developed techniques to improve soils depleted by repeated plantings of cotton. He wanted poor farmers to grow alternative crops, such as peanutsand sweet potatoes, as a source of their own food and to improve their quality of life. The most popular of his 44 practical bulletins for farmers contained 105 food recipes using peanuts. Although he spent years developing and promoting numerous products made from peanuts, none became commercially successful. #georgewashingtoncarver #blackhistory #blackeducation #blackpeopl #blackbusiness #blackcommunity #blackknowledge #blacklivesmatter #blackman https://www.instagram.com/p/BtdlulfnIwp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sc1br8uep13c

What we as black men must understand, when it comes to high level trades and skills. It's in our blood and history, we MUST develop confidence and have FAITH in ourselves. The same jobs these #whitefolk pretend to be the Master of, a lot of them was stolen from our Ancestors, and they have the audacity to not hire us because the color our skin. F%cking #whiteamerikkka NEXT UP: Granville Tailer Woods (April 23, 1856 – January 30, 1910) was an American inventor who held more than 50 patents. He is also the first American of African ancestry to be a mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War. Self-taught, he concentrated most of his work on trains and streetcars. One of his notable inventions was the Multiplex Telegraph, a device that sent messages between train stations and moving trains. His work assured a safer and better public transportation system for the cities of the United States. #blackhistory #blackeducation #blackpeopl #blackbusiness #blackcommunity #blackknowledge #blacklivesmatter #blackman https://www.instagram.com/p/BtYavqIHJem/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yaw60vvp54ao
