Black History Month
February marks Black History Month, recognizing great achievements by African Americans. Like wonderful achievements by the first African American author, Phillis Wheatley, to various black innovative inventors, scientists, professionals, laborers, united families and individuals.
Overcoming oppression from slavery wasn't easy because many African Americans had to runaway for freedom. Many slaves traveled on foot, canoe, kayak, or on horseback. While on foot.. the slaves carried their belongings on a stick. The journey to freedom on foot was rough because of harsh environments like wetlands, swamps, boggy marshlands, rivers, and streams, while wading through many southern aquatic environments contained alligators and snakes. Most of the slaves couldn't swim, so crossing waterways became detrimental. And during summer months in the aquatic environments, the mosquitoes and gnats were troublesome that caused illnesses.
