Black History Month on Vocal
Black History Month: It Still Matters. America has practiced erasure... to the point of devastation. For this reason, and this reason alone, Black History Month is still important. A focused period of time when the history of black people and how we have contributed to a country that used our bodies, families, and souls to commit its original sin is needed to show people that blackness matters, that it is good, that it is capable, beautiful, intelligent, and worthy. That our history is American history, and it is important. Does this mean that discussions, lessons, ideas, art exhibitions, and projects about black history should only be delegated to February? Absolutely not. Will there be a day when Black History Month is no longer necessary? I hope so. Because that day will mean that our history is acknowledged and taught as widely and richly as America’s white history. It won’t only be a specialization or emphasis for college students, but will truly be what it has always been: an integral part of the interwoven fabric that is America. - KATHRYN H. ROSS, (author of Black Was Not a Label) Quote pulled from It Matters | Black History Month and ‘Erasure’ Blackness can't be ignored or explained away BY KATHRYN H. ROSS Published on Friday, February 7

My Passion of Writing
My Passion For Writing My passion for writing runs deep within me. As a young kid I wanted to know how to write, I knew this was my passion. It’s hard to explain to everyone. Have you ever wanted to do something outside your comfort zone? This was me! I wrote my first short story at fourteen. It was a romance story called “Kingdom of Heaven” way before the movie even came out. So, I wrote this story with the same title in a completely different story when I was fifteen years old.

Negotiations with the Dead - Part Two
Dear Margaret Atwood, I used to visit my grandmother at one o'clock in the morning. When I would visit the area when my children were infants, I wouldn't have much time, so instead of sleeping the night before I left, I would go to her house and chat with her until three. She didn't mind. She said she didn't sleep. Visiting with her in those quiet hours has become one of my most precious memories. Instead of having a little tea party like I did in my last letter, this time, I'm visiting you at one o'clock in the morning. I haven't decided yet if we're still wearing our makeup or if our faces are very clean. I guess it depends on how much I want to hide who I really am.
