Who Are We?
“We’re a special people, We’re the best and the brightest our ancestors ever produced!” —James Weldon Johnson, writer
Who are we? We’re African Americans, and we are achievers! We are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, writers, and entrepreneurs. We’re African Americans and we are achievers!
We are jet black, blue black, dark brown, brown-skinned, medium brown, yellow, high yellow, light-skinned, light, brigh, almost white, redbone, but Afro-American to the bone. We’re African Americans and we are achievers!
We have climbed the highest mountains, scaled the highest heights. We are visionaries, innovators, dreamers, creators, leaders, builders, and doers. We’re African Americans and we are achievers!
We made it past slavery. We’ve been hurried and hassled; discouraged and downtrodden. We’ve provided an unpaid service to this country by serving others first and ourselves last. Yet we are survivors, overcomers, those who have endured. Though we are the last hired and the first fired, we know the meaning of perseverance. We know a setback is a setup for a comeback. We’ve survived the end of the world, and now handle miracles by appointment only.
On a scale from one to ten, we are one hundred! We’re African Americans and we are achievers!
Afffirmation: I am an African American Achiever.
