Black History Month commemorates the rich heritage of a variety of cultures that span the globe: from the sub-Saharan African and Sahelean cultures, through Europe and the Americas, to the island gems of the Antilles and extending across the Australian landscape.

Remembering Martin Luther King Day, January 18, 2021
Posted on Friday, January 15, 2021 01:31 PM
The prophetic words of Dr. Martin Luther King and two very big lessons learned from 2020: Martin Luther King said: “There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.”
