It’s February 2023 and as such it’s Black History Month in the United States and Canada. In those two North American countries they are celebrating the contributions of black people of the past and present. Celebrating Black history is important because the worst thing we can do is to stay silent. When we are silent, no one can understand our suffering. No one can feel our pain. No one can hear about our struggles, our courage, our pride, and our heritage. When we stay quiet, we hurt ourselves, we hurt the people who came before us and fought for a better today, and we hurt the generations who will follow us, who deserve a better tomorrow.
Silence keeps the world from knowing the story of the Black diasporas and its current state of affairs, both domestically and around the world. The Black diasporas is the totality of Black communities around the globe, including African-Americans, Afro-Asians, Afro-Latinos, Afro-Caribbeans, and native African communities. We are determined to be silent no longer.
