     What does Black History Month mean to you? As we ponder this question, we are forced to keep in mind the contributions of people of African descent across the diaspora or more particularly, in the Virgin Islands. We can easily remember names like:
  • Alton Adams
  • David Hamilton Jackson
  • Cyril E. King
  • Melvin Evans
  • Juanita Gardine
  • Guy Benjamin
  • J. Antonio Jarvis
and the list goes on and on. They are all famous Virgin Islanders. We are better because they lived.
     For me, Black History Month means that we all have a responsibility to continue their legacy and remember their sacrifices. It also means that we have a responsibility to teach others of the contributions of those who came before. As it pertains to the famous Virgin Islanders. Here is a quiz. Can you answer these questions correctly? Can your kids? 
     As it pertains to Black History Month in general, here are some facts. Black History Month is half way over; but in truth, it never is. We can continue learning and growing because the contributions of people of African descent across the diaspora is a significant part of our daily lives, such as:
  • Folding Cabinet Bed
  • Potato Chips
  • Multiplex Telegraph
  • Shoe Lasting Machine
  • Automatic Oil Cup
  • carbon Filament Light Bulb
  • Walker Hair Care System
  • Blood Bank
  • Protective Mailbox
  • Gas Mask
Read more here and happy Black History Month.
