There are wonderful tweet stories about #BHM and the historic people who make up the Black american diaspora experience. Famous, infamous, women, men, lgbti, children, churches, politicians and business folk.

There's wonder, horror, celebration, and much love.

And there's Us

Who are "Us?"

Us are the regular everyday Black people who help make this nation survive and thrive. Workers, students, leaders, business owners, and business customers.

Us are consumers, creators, thinkers, scientists, teachers, supervisors, fast food and retail workers.

Us works in factories, restaurants, customer service, malls, strip malls, and small busineses that populate our communities. Salons, barbershops, wig & cosmetics, clothing, kids, and 2nd-hand stores and smoke shops. Mechanic, autoparts, clinics, nurses, preachers and pastors.

Us are people who see each other when the larger society ignores us.

Delivery drivers, postal workers, professors, journalists, stay at home moms and dads, liquor store pontificators, soldiers, and veterans.

Us are seniors in Senior Homes and children in home daycares.

When we celebrate Black History, we are celebrating all of Us

from the cities, the hoods, the rural and suburban, to the streets, hospitals, and prisons

And those that went to glory before us

Happy Black History Month, Black man head nod, and endearing greeting, Fam to you

Us
