Black History Month

The best month of the year when all of the great Black activists, athletes, inventors, scientists, scholars, musicians, poets, authors, architects, explorers, etc throughout history get the most recognition for their achievements. Africans have richest history in the world, as they are the ones who brought Mathematics, Science, Language, Architecture, Cosmetics, Art, Spirituality, Folklore, and so many other things to the world. And as for Black Americans, we are the ones who built America, and not just through free labor via slavery. It's so important for people to learn about historical figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, Lewis Latimer (inventor of the carbon filament used in light bulbs), Benjamin Banneker (scientist, Almanac author, and farmer who built the first American clock and assisted in creating the city layout for Washington D.C.), Juan Garrido (first person in the Americas to cultivate Wheat), Garrett Morgan (inventor of the Traffic Light and the Gas Mask), W.E.B. DuBois (Pan Africanist civil rights activist who co-founded the NAACP), Kenneth Dunkley (inventor of 3D Glasses), George Crum (inventor of Potato Chips), and so many other monumental figures! Coincidentally, this month corresponds with many other events like National Heart Month, the Super Bowl, the NBA All Star Game, the Oscars, the Grammy's, and Valentine's Day.

Egypt

The original/indigenous name Egypt is "Kemet". Kemet means "The Black Land", in reference to the rich soil in Egypt. This was one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, civilization of all time. It was a structured society with tools such as written language (Hieroglyphics) and mathematics, which enabled them to record and develop ideas. It was also known for it's agricultural society and it's architecture, with some of it's biggest accomplishments being the Great Pyramid Of Giza, The Sphinx, and the Step Pyramid (which was constructed by Imhotep). Some of the greatest Africans of all time came from Kemet, including Rameses, Queen Hatshepsut, Queen Nefertiti, Thutmose, Imhotep, Menes (the founder of the First Dynasty), King Piye, Taharqa, etc. Unfortunately, mainstream society still refuses to give credit to Black Africans (who built this civilization) to this day.

"Out of every historical civilization, my favorite one to study is Ancient Egypt".
