...and I must say that I'm concerned about the lack or representation at ECCIE of African Americans. Why do you think that is? Seriously though, I'm sure our leftie friends are all about Black History Month and what it represents. LMAO but here is what they don't know....Carter Woodson who is given credit for starting Black History Week was a Republican! Yep, a Republican just like Ida B. Wells the black journalist who exposed the lynch culture in the United States.
