I honestly think a lot of them will be celebrating with us.
There's been a lot more allies who are unafraid to come forward and say "Wait this isn't fair guys :unsure: "
Trump's presidency has actually done this country some good. It really showed that shit people thought was done with and in the past still exists. Obama is KING but I think his run in office gave a lot of people a false sense of security in a sense. "Oh! Look at that! We did it ya'll!" Not quite.
I have NEVER seen so many open and honest conversations everywhere. On TV, on social media...Like, people are REALLY calling others out on their shit. No stone is being left unturned.
Trump really gave the Charlotesville idiots enough courage to show their ass. And it really WOKE people up. Especially in the South. Stop smiling and grinning like everything is fine when you still hate each other.

GODgle is kicking things off nicely by celebrating the person who was among the first to actually begin studying Black history.
Carter G. Woodson began "Negro History Week",which eventually grew to "Black History Month."
Carter G. Woodson: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
(https://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/woodson-e1517465144772.jpg?quality=65&strip=all)
1. Carter G. Woodson Was Born to Former Slaves
Woodson?s parents were former slaves. He was born in 1875 in New Canton, Virginia, to Anne Eliza and James Henry Woodson, according to Google. Growing up, Woodson held many different jobs. ?During the 1890s, he hired himself out as a farm and manual laborer, drove a garbage truck, worked in coalmines, and attended high school and college in Berea College, Kentucky?from which he earned a B.L. degree in 1903,? notes Blackpast.org.
2. Woodson Was the Second African-American to Ever Receive a Harvard University Doctorate Degree
After high school, Woodson?s thirst for education remained. He was a pioneer in higher education. He was also a well-traveled man. ?From late 1903 until early 1907, Woodson worked in the Philippines under the auspices of the US War Department. Woodson then traveled to Africa, Asia, and Europe and briefly attended the Sorbonne in Paris, France,? notes Blackpast.org.
3. Woodson Worked to Make Sure That African-American History Was Taught in Schools
Woodson is honored at the start of Black History Month because he was so instrumental in bringing recognition to the importance of black history and founded a week that evolved into the month. According to Google, he worked to ensure that it was ?taught in schools and studied by other scholars. He devised a program to encourage this study, which began in February of 1926 as a weeklong event.?
4. Dr. Woodson Was a Prolific Author
As part of his efforts to record black history, Carter Woodson became a prolific author. According to the museum that bears his name, ?Dr. Woodson was the founder of Associated Publishers, the founder and editor of the Negro History Bulletin, and the author of more than 30 books. His best known publication is The Mis-Education of the Negro, originally published in 1933 and still pertinent today.?
5. Woodson Wished There Would Come a Day When America Didn?t Need Special Days to Honor Black History :plea:
According to the NAACP, Woodson longed for a day when America didn?t need a Black History Month ? or week. ?Dr. Woodson often said that he hoped the time would come when Negro History Week would be unnecessary; when all Americans would willingly recognize the contributions of Black Americans as a legitimate and integral part of the history of this country,? wrote the NAACP.

I know I've mentioned him before but...
Giving honor to my cousin (Grandma's relative), politician and civil rights leader, Clifton DeBerry. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton_DeBerry )
He was the first black American to be chosen as a presidential candidate by a political party in the 20th century.
Very proud. :blush:
The FBI was so pressed and upset with his work as an activist and leader that they launched an investigation in attempts to tarnish him.
