Black History

It is almost that time of year where I, along with others will be celebrating a month for Black History. I am super excited for what this February has to offer! I am usually disappointed about the activities that goes on during this month. There is usually nothing but a bunch of: 'I'm black and I'm proud.' However! This year at my school NPHC, NAACP, and BSL [Black Student League] are teaming up to give Valdosta the biggest black history week!!!! Which, even though it is a week, it definitely is longer than what we usually have. Maybe by next year there will be a month long celebration.
Anyway!! Enough of my rattling, here is the itinerary: [i tried to upload the flyer..Not happening :-/
