Happy Easter

I was surprised to know that Easter is not only about Jesus, the Easter bunny or Coloring eggs. These are a compilation of customs and celebration in roman time. When these festival of different religions was combined by Roman Emperor Constantine. He was one of the first christian Roman Emperors. He was trying to please all of the people when he did this. I now know why some people have begun to refer to Easter as Resurrection Sunday. Nothing against those that color eggs and Eat chocolate covered Easter Bunny's.

Honored Women

















In honor of the women who have contributed to America. I would like to honor Harriet Tubman for courage to be the woman Moses; and leader for the Undrground Railroad. I honor Rosa Parks for having the courage to do what no one else had done in her era; refuse to go to the back of the bus. Maya Angelou for expressing herself in poetry, allowing the mind to express the soul. Last but not least, Madam C.J. Walker's following her dream of erecting a business that was a pioneer of Hair and Beauty products as well being the first Black woman to become a Millionaire.
