False Positive
She asked for a sign from the Universe. Bang, clang, boom. Was this it? She opened her eyes and ears to the kitchen orchestra played by her newly attained fiancé Jackson and the sweet sounds of Al Green. She knew what that meant. He only played Al when he was in a playful mood and dared his hand at the stove for a special occasion. In between Al’s riffs were the symphony of silverware clanging and dishes smashing into the sink and Jackson’s deep interlude of “shoot, darn, shoot”. “Everything ok” honey, Imani yelled out. “Shoot, I was trying to surprise you.” “It will be if we have any dishes intact after today”, Imani chuckled. Just as Jackson came through the doorway holding a tray of scrambled eggs, bacon and fruit. “What did I do for this extra special treatment, Imani proclaimed?” Jackson smoothly replied before stealing a kiss, “just because baby, just because.” Imani slowly sat up and noticed the gorgeous pink and red roses across the room on their dresser. “Are those for me?” Jackson smiled and recited, “when we delight thyself in the Lord, my love, he shall give thee the desires of your heart”, and my love you delight my heart”.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.
