Several brief 32Days posts today to make up for my missing the entire weekend due to illness...
Often Black history is presented in February in bite-sized chunks. Just a quote, a couple of biographical notes, a handful of facts. In addition to lasting only a moment, the information these presentations relay are often framed as "moments" as well: e.g., "The moment that changed..."
What the moment frame does well is highlight that every decision, every act has the potential to make great change. But what the moment frame leaves out is how no moment happens in a vacuum. Every moment is tied to ones before, and will be followed by more to come. Even moments that may seem "spur of the" are often the result of careful planning, or reflection, or searching of the soul. Sometimes The moment does not become clear as The One until after the moment has passed.
Today, then, I'll just give you three moments--just three out of many. I hope you'll follow the links to learn more about the moments surrounding the moments.
