Black ARTistory

Peace and Blessings, 

This month (February) is known as "Black History Month." Black History Month is a month when people honor and recognize influential African Americans, who overcame the challenges they faced in a society that wanted to keep them unknown. They were judge because of the color of their skin! 

These influential African Amercians that we honor today knew in their hearts that their voices needed to be heard, no matter what bumps, beatings, threats, or scare came there way. 

They had a DREAM and VISION.

We thank and honor these INSPIRATIONAL, MOTIVATIONAL, & COURAGEOUS African- Americans.

 Here are some we thank:

Dr. Martin Luther King;

Rosa Parks ;

Harriet Tubman;

Federick Douglass;

Madame C. J. Walker;

Jackie Robinson;

W.E.B. DuBois;

Mae C. Jemison;

Barbara Jordan; and

Pres. Barack H. Obama.

Wings of Art recognizes these courageous beings, but WOA is about the ARTS. 

What about the ARTISTIC and TALENTED African-Americans who paved the way for the talents of  today and the future?

This month WOA is turning Black History into "Black ARTistory" in honoring and recognizing the many talented African-Americans who paved the way for so many Black artist of today, but go unrecognized.
