It was an honor and privilege to be at the Heider farm this morning to witness a Truth and Reconciliation group from Canada via Zoom to smudge and pay their respects to "Miracle" the White Buffalo born on that farm in 1994. Here are photos of a representative from the group and local Diversity Action Team and Allies of Nations members.

Why Black History Month? Read on: ![]()
In 1926 Carter G. Woodson, a black educator, initiated a celebration known as Negro![]()
History Week. Woodson selected a week in February because that's when African![]()
Americans celebrated the birthdays of two heroes, Frederick Douglass (famous![]()
Abolitionist, runaway slave, writer, U.S. Ambassador, etc.) and President Abraham![]()
Lincoln (The Great Emancipator, etc.). The purpose of that first Negro History Week was![]()
to recognize the importance of Black History to the United States of America. Woodson never intended the week to be celebrated indefinitely.![]()
![]()
According to historian John Hope Franklin, Woodson "fervently hoped that soon the![]()
history of African Americans would become an integral part of American History" and![]()
would not need special recognition. In succeeding years until his death in 1950, Woodson![]()
continued to express the hope that Negro History Week would outlive its usefulness.![]()
![]()
In 1976, Negro History Week became Black History Month. Of course taking time to![]()
recognize the contributions of African Americans has other ethnic groups wondering why![]()
they aren't given a day, a week, a month, etc. The bottom line is simply that African![]()
Americans are the only group of people who have been taken to these shores against their![]()
will, forced to work involuntarily in the abhorred system of chattel slavery, given![]()
freedom, and then prevented from advancing for no other reason then the color of their![]()
skin. They have a rich history and culture, which was stolen from them when they were![]()
kidnapped from Africa. They have been involved in developing our American Republic![]()
since the first shots at Lexington and Concord.![]()
![]()
The history of Black American contributions to the United States has been largely![]()
unknown among mainstream U.S.A. Since 1926, thanks to people like Carter G.![]()
Woodson, Black Americans have been given some recognition for their efforts in![]()
developing our Nation. Some refer to this recognition as tokenism. As Maya Angelou, the![]()
famous Black Poet, has said, "we'll take a day, a week, a month, whatever you'll give us![]()
until we are fairly recognized in America.![]()
![]()
So, stand up America and enjoy our diversity. Help us celebrate the contributions of![]()
African Americans and all other ethnic groups. It is in our diversity that we develop![]()
strength. It is in our knowledge that we have power and understanding.
