I wonder…
What would America be like, look like and feel like had we embraced the full history of our diverse culture; recognizing its impressive, unknown and seldom-mentioned inventors, poets, scientists, business entrepreneurs, musicians, artists and others who broke, ignored and overcame barriers to become contributors in this complex society and gave the phrase “American Spirit” a whole different definition.
Black History Month is an opportunity and invitation for those becoming Phi Kappa Tau Men of Character to explore, study and contemplate such a wonder. Black History Month is a call of challenge for those who are or are becoming Men of Distinction to enact such a vision, moving us all to a place of ongoing vibrance, truth and depth.
