Well this is/was a good challenge. Overall how did we do?

: Dear Afrigeneas Family: This is Black History Month 2003.

: Yes, yes, I know. I can hear your collective sigh, see you rolling
: your eyes and muttering "not that rehash again". Come
: on, you can take it! Brace yourself for an exhausting round of
: "multi-cultural" "inclusionary" events. It's
: not so bad. Remember this is the Only Month when you'll be
: invited "to la di da" soirees at museums, cultural
: centers, corporate receptions, and NPR-ish "dialogue"
: forums. (Except for year round exclusive screenings of gansta
: movies and "gripping"
: down-'n-out-in-the-ghetto/cotton-field documentaries).

: Take heart and read on: Our postings, our shared research on our
: ancestors continues to raise the bar on the African-American
: experience. Please visit the Afrigeneas Writers Forum and add
: your thoughts and personal histories about our rich heritage
: which is often overlooked.

: Write Away!
