This is installment 26 in the Black History Month series. This series contains inspirational quotes from Black Americans that are good for all people. While some friends will want me to use “African American History Month”, I will use the traditional name to identify it with American born and raised leaders.
The blog post is to give a little background, while my twitter @davetravis – will get regular updates of the posts.
The first week’s theme was historical figures, last week, Civil Right’s Leaders. Last week was entertainers and politics week. We wrap up the month this week with Educators.
For many generations the leaders of the Black community were its pastors and school teachers and officials.
Today’s twitter quote:
Don't bother people for help without first trying to solve the problem yourself. Colin Powell
I can never remember if we should call him Secretary Powell or General Powell. Many thought he could have become the first African American President. Who knows? He certainly made a career of firsts. He was the first African American on the Joint Chiefs, rising to become the chairman, the National Security Advisor and Secretary of State.
Calling him an educator is a stretch, but he was at one point in the 1990s the most trusted man in America in my opinion. His calm demeanor and will gave him great authority.
A bonus quote for today’s blog readers:
Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
