Dr. Carter G. Woodson the "Father of Black History Month"
Carter G. Woodson was the son of former slaves. Although he did not begin his formal education until he was twenty years old, he earned a high school diploma in West Virginia and bachelor and master's degrees from the University of Chicago in just a few years. In 1912, Woodson became the second Black American to earn Ph.D. from Harvard University. The first was W.E.B. DuBois.
In 1915, Recognizing the depth of information on the accomplishments of Black Americans, Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
In 1926, Dr. Woodson initiated the celebration of Negro History Week, which corresponded with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. In 1976, this week long celebration was expanded to the entire month of February to National Black History month. This celebration honors Dr. Woodson's pioneering efforts to emphasize the significant contributions of Black Americans to the culture of the U.S.A.

Joke of the Day
- Here's one I received via email recently, I trust no one finds it offensive, if you do please be sure to let me know!
MY DAD IS A FATHER
A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar that way.
The man, who was a priest, said, "I am a Father."
The little boy replied, "My daddy doesn't wear his collar like that."
The priest looked up from his book and answered, "I am the Father of many."
The boy said, "My dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way."
The priest, getting impatient, said, "I am the Father of hundreds," and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said, "Maybe you should wear your pants backwards instead of your collar."

Three days later
- Well, it's been only 3 days since that horrible last month of summer vacation ended, and in these 3 days my hits are back up to what they were before Black August came along.
So I'm thinking that, indeed, it wasn't my new navigation bar, but simply that people were out rushing around trying to jam in activities before school started again, and now that things are back to normal in their lives... they will return to normal on my site!
My site numbers had been holding steady for about 3 months, before Black August...I had hoped that the classy-looking new nav bar would actually help increase my numbers, as I think it adds a professional gloss to the whole website that was lacking before...but so far I'm just still ....steady... with those previous 3 months, not really increasing.
Social Media Marketing Costs?
- Hi,
I charge $39.99/Month to lead social media marketing campaigns and continuously add contacts to businesses pages on these social media networks, while updating these pages with special offers, multimedia and events.
Is that a good price to charge or am I cutting myself short. I've seen companies charge $150-$500/month for a similar service and I feel like I'm under charging but at the same time, I think even the low end of $150 is a little extreme for a few hours a day.
