This Day In History . . . .

It is often noted that the current generation doesn't value it's freedom and privelages because we didn't have to fight for them = => we inherited them.

As history is very important to me, we're going to do a Honestly I - Black Fact every now and again. The Black Fact isn't going to be the same ol repetitious stuff that we typically here in February (Black History Month), it's going to be something I truly didn't know. Enjoy.
