Motivational Monday – Black History Month – Who Are the Heroes?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, W.E.B. DuBois, and Maya Angelou, are just some of the well-known African Americans who left their mark in history. What memories or stories in Black History do you share with your children or family?

As you turn the pages of your life what do you see? Who are your heroes? What legacy will you leave? Think about the people who are considered great, successful, leaders. They are ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. You can too.

You are a hero. As you celebrate Black History Month, celebrate your greatness. Here are a few ways you can celebrate:

1.      Read a book by an African American author

2.      Support an African American owned business

3.      Share the history of African American inventors with someone (Garrett Morgan, George Washington Carver, etc.)

Here are a few ways to celebrate who you are:

1.      Share a story of how you overcame an obstacle

2.      Tell about something you are most proud of

3.      What is one piece of advice that you would give to someone about a lesson learned?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, W.E.B. DuBois, and you, are all heroes.

Leave your mark in society or your family.
