" We’re a special people. We’re the best and the brightest our ancestors ever produced!”James Weldon Johnson"
By Dennis Kimbro
Who are we? We’re Africans, and we are achievers! We are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, nieces, and nephrews.
We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, writers, and entrepreneurs. We’re Africans, and we are achievers!
We are jet black, blue black, dark brown, brown-skinned, medium brown, yellow, high yellow, light-skinned, fair skinned, light, bright, almost white, redbone, but African to the bone.
We have climbed the highest mountains, scaled the highest heights. We are visionaries, innovators, dreamers, creators, leaders, builders, and doers. We’re Africans and we are achievers!
We made it past slavery. We’ve been hurried and hassled; discouraged and downtrodden. We’re provided an unpaid service to this country by serving others first and ourselves last. Yet we are survivors, overcomers, those who have endured.
Though we’re the last hired and the first hired, we know the meaning of perseverance. We know a setback is a setup for a comeback. We’ve survived the end of the world, and now handle miracles by appointment only.
On a scale from one to ten, we are one hundred! We’re Africans and we are achievers!
