WADE-IN PUBLISHING.COM Fiction and non-fiction that expounds on topics we all discuss within the comforting tight circles of our closest friends. Topics such as race, children books, family, personal relations, the welfare system, old school child rearing and childcare. E-book publications. Novels that make you ask.... AM I REALLY THE PERSON I CLAIM TO BE?
I saw a tweet yesterday that kind of threw me into confusion. To paraphrase it said "I'm not tweeting anything about Black History Month....because we already know". I'm not sure what we as 'humans' already know. Many believe the struggle is over, history is history and should be left in the past. I'm over 50 and every day I learn something new when it comes to race and ethnicity. Without the struggles, deaths, atrocities, and successes of the African-American race many other minorities would be left in limbo still staring angrily at the White Only sign. Our history is American history and not a February story or a month long look back.
Our History
What we must remember and teach our children (the future) is that we did not succeed alone. It took many 'colored' hands to pull us up and we are thankful and not forgetful because we don't already know. If the past is forgotten, white-washed and politically corrected not to offend the lazy and ignorant, we stand a huge chance of repeating the past.

"Within America's history-“I feel that we, as Americans, are all equal and held together by a common thread. Like a treasured beaded necklace of different colors, held together on a string, we are held together by our necessities and our circumstances and our humanity. Every color helps to make the necklace beautiful. We can never be a totally separate entity! Americans of all colors are so integrated that if we hurt one, we hurt all. Just like that necklace of treasured beads- leave one out and the gap is seen. Break the chain and many of us are lost.” What do you believe?
