2023 Black History Month - Our Voices

February 26, 2023
Glynis Pegram-Higgs gives us the origins of Black History Month and her experiences during that time.
 
Mrs. Pegram-Higgs explains that she experiences mixed emotions during Black History Month. Her dream, very similar to that of Dr. Martin Luther King's, is that one day we won't need to celebrate just in the month of February, but that the experiences of African Americans will blend into the fabric of American History.

 

Sunday, February 19, 2023
Blossom Roach, William Hymes and Penny Thomas give lively reflections on their trip to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
 

As we continue to celebrate Black History Month, reflections were made by three of the participants of our Northeastern Presbyterian field trip held in August. There is a prominent section of America that refuses to identify what has been recorded; however, our witnesses shared their experiences.  Sharing was Penny Thomas, William Hymes, and Blossom Roach.

Mrs. Thomas introduced us to Clara Brown, who was a former enslaved woman from Virginia and Kentucky. She was known as the 'Angel of the Rockies' and made her mark as Colorado's first black settler and a prosperous entrepreneur during the Colorado Gold Rush. By 1866, she had accumulated $10,000 and began to actively search for her family.

Mr. Hymes introduced us to Robert Smalls, the enslaved man who, in the absence of the white captain and his two mates, slipped a cotton steamer off the dock, picked up family members at a rendezvous point, then slowly navigated their way through the harbor.  Serving as captain, he commandeered a heavily armed Confederate ship and delivered its 17 black passengers (nine men, five women and three children) from slavery to freedom.

Mrs. Roach introduced us to Marie Van Brittan Brown who was an American nurse and innovator. In 1966, she invented a video home security system along with her husband, Albert Brown, an electronics technician. In the same year, they applied for a patent for their innovative security system, which was granted in 1969.
