Celebrating Black History Month
By Nerdy Wonka

Throughout Black History Month, I’ve included tweets in ‘A Tweet Or Two’ about African-American heroes who with brains, love, strength, blood, sweat, tears, and death; built this nation to what it is today. As Black History Month draws to a close, we celebrate the known and unsung heroes who gave everything and continue to give everything to make this country live up to its promise of “all men are created equal.”

3. Thanks Kath...

I know this is officially after Black History Month, however who says it has to end? I don't think it should be confined to a month or even a year. It should continue on and on.

The spirit should continue all year.

10. Because of them we must

do better in that we'll work harder to make it possible for them to succeed.
Not many get where they are all by their lonesome, we all have help and its this help that matters. As I reach the summit I reach back and give a hand to the one following me. It matters not who they are, where they came from, it matters they were there to support me on my way up, now I must reciprocate.

11. Great thread.

"Freedom is never given; it is won."

Special significance this year, what with the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War coming in April.
