Meet The "Peeker"

My mamma and daddy used to tell me that African American people have always been a part of history. Even though we were not always in history books, we were a big part of history. We were great scientists and mathematicians, teachers and preachers, doctors and lawyers, entertainers and musicians, and inventors and builders. When I “peek” back into history, I see my ancestors there. I see them as early explorers. I see them on the Trail of Tears. I see them in the American Revolution and on board the Challenger. I see my ancestors helping to build this great nation. We were there, yes, we were there. We Were Always There.
