Black History Month
I have never been a big fan of Black History month. I never understood why we have to have a month devoted to that, when we should just be studying it all year long. Anything historically significant done by a black person should be part of the normal curriculum.
However, in honor of this silly excuse to relegate black achievements to one month a year, I present my most cherished family picture: my great gandparents - on my mother's side- Marion Wesly Alexander, his wife Birdie Archer Alexander, and three children - Irene, Ira and baby Marion (my grandmother Othellis had not been born yet.) Circa 1905-06.
