What inspiration looks like when Spirit taps you to bring extra attention to a sacred space/the monument honoring the great one -- Dr. Carter G. Woodson -- whose life's work unveiled, tirelessly studied, and celebrated the history and achievements/impact of African Americans, serving to educate and empower African Americans and awaken the rest of America and the world to the truth and to the urgency and responsibility for racial justice. ● It was this week that Dr. Woodson launched Negro History Week in 1926, expanding upon preexisting February celebrations by black people of Presidebt Lincoln's and Frederick Douglas's birthdays (the 12th and 14th, respectively), knowing that a week was only a beginning and was to be a catalyst for expanded future celebrations to come. ● So, it's with so much gratitude that the intentional ask of some of DC's black florists -- @leesflowersdc (blooming since 1945), Flowers by Alexes @youruptownflorist (check out her inspiring emerging story), and Crystal' Flowers and Gift Shop -- made this Spirit guided homage possible! ● To learn more re: the evolution of Black History Month, visit the Association for the Study of African American Life and History . . . #makingadifferencetogether #donationsmakeadifference #flowersmakeadifference #cartergwoodson #thefatherofblackhistory #blackhistory #blackhistoryisamericanhistory✊🏾🇺🇸 #blackhistorymonth (fb)
