(Black History Month should include the history of how countries in Africa also came to be as they are, via Colonial treatment not unlike processes here in the US.

Seventeen Israelis have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in a racist attack on a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank last month, police said Wednesday.
Police said Jewish Israelis armed with stones, clubs and “other objects” wounded one Palestinian and vandalized shops, vehicles and property in the northern West Bank village of Hawara on January 24.
The suspects — who live in the West Bank, Jerusalem and northern Israel — are under investigation for perpetrating “an attack, participation in a prohibited gathering and destroying property with a racist motive”, police said.
I so enjoy history and Black History month is the perfect time to introduce my readers to historic figures that are left out of the history books.
This post is about one of those people….Abraham Galloway.
He has been compared to James Bond and Malcolm X, though his name has largely been left out of the history books.
Abraham Galloway was an African American who escaped enslavement in North Carolina, became a Union spy during the Civil War and recruited Black soldiers to fight with the North. That’s the short version. The fuller picture would include his work as a revolutionary and being one of the first African Americans elected to the North Carolina Senate.

There is also what the New York Times calls a “pandemic of the forgotten.” Around 7 million Americans have weakened immune systems from transplants, cancer treatment, rheumatoid arthritis medications, or other medical conditions, and they could get very ill if they get COVID-19. Yet this push toward returning to normal seems to matter-of-factly ignore them. And, there is the growing number of people who are suffering from long-term morbidity after surviving infection—the condition now known as Long Covid—which we are only just beginning to understand.
One recurring problem when it comes to pandemics is that we suffer from short term memory. We cross our fingers and hope that this wave is the last. Many of us were surprised when Vice President Kamala Harris said that the Biden Administration “didn’t see Delta coming….didn’t see Omicron coming.” That’s absurd. Viral mutations were entirely expected. There is a serious risk of further variants arising, especially with inequitable and low vaccination coverage in much of the world due to supply hoarding. Distributing a few rapid tests and masks and hoping that this wave disappears and will be the end of the U.S. pandemic is not a sound approach.
