Why do African Americans think they have to prove something?
This was an honest innocent question that a fellow African asked during the hype of the Black Panther movie, and it occurred to me that some people might feel that way. On a side note, this is actually a late post. I had planned to start the year with the experience I had over Christmas of 2017 (which this post would share), but I didn’t. Instead, I put it in the back burner because I second guessed the relevance. SMH! But with the excellent movie that is Black Panther; the hype that people, especially black people, gave to the movie; and the innocent question that my friend asked, I said to myself, “It is time” in Rafiki’s voice . Last Christmas, I visited Maryland and got the opportunity to see my brother and some of my friends from Covenant University. It was definitely a blast just being around people who love you and whom you love right back! Among the very chill things we did was visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washingto
