WELCOME TO "BLACK HISTORY"

CHANGE ENTERTAINMENT and the black community have a strong history of working together to provide greater access of information celebrating Black History, Culture, Traditions and projecting the History of Africa to the whole world. Black History Month, celebrated each February, is an opportunity to recognize that access to quality health care is a fundamental right for all people — regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation.  CHANGE ENTERTAINMENT is committed to working with the next generation of black leaders in the fight against illiteracy and poverty in Africa.

In the decades immediately following World War I, huge numbers of African Americans migrated to the industrial North from the economically depressed and agrarian South. In cities such as Chicago, Washington, DC, and New York City, the recently migrated sought and found (to some degree) new opportunities, both economic and artistic. African Americans were encouraged to celebrate their heritage and to become "The New Negro," a term coined in 1925 by sociologist and critic Alain LeRoy Locke in his influential book of the same name.

Did you know:

• Black political and civil rights leaders like W.E.B DuBois, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Martin Luther King, Jr., were strong supporters of access to birth control and women’s health.  Planned Parenthood has fought alongside organizations like the NAACP and the Black Women’s Health Imperative for decades. #
• In response to many black women being denied access to New York City’s health and social services at the height of the Great Depression, the New York Urban League endorsed Margaret Sanger’s opening a new clinic in Harlem.  Unique to the time, the three biggest Harlem churches — Abyssinian Baptist Church, St. James Presbyterian, and St. Philip’s Protestant Episcopal — all supported the opening of the clinic.#
• Dr. N. Louise Young, a gynecologist and the first black woman to practice medicine in Maryland, operated a Planned Parenthood health center in Baltimore that was opened with the commitment and assistance of the local Urban League and other community partners.#
• Planned Parenthood in Houston began in 1936 as the Maternal Health Center. By the late 1930s, Dr. Thelma Patten Law, one of the first black female physicians in the state was serving the black community at Planned Parenthood, and did so for more than 25 years.

Black History Month is a unique opportunity to celebrate the resilience of the black men and women who work every day to increase opportunity and health care access in the black community — as well as to celebrate the legacy of civil rights leaders and a new generation of leadership in the U.S.  This year, Planned Parenthood is honoring black women and men on social media who are having a significant impact in the reproductive health movement and are working to improve health outcomes and increase access to health care in black communities across the country. 

The Planned Parenthood Generation is a movement of young people across identities that organizes with, by, and for their generation in order to achieve reproductive freedom. Planned Parenthood Generation Action programs — of which Vox (our chapters on college campuses) is one — are focused on harnessing the power, energy, and enthusiasm of young people to fight for reproductive freedom — and for fundamental justice for all.

This month marks another historic moment to celebrate Africa, our joy our pride our history. Africans have made history and a remarkable impact globally in different fields and endeavor. After many years of slavery here comes the fulfillment of "Dream" and prophecy spoken by our founding fathers.

This is a dream come through for Africa, a land so blessed so prosperous and green. Now is the time to make a CHANGE in Africa, the CHANGE we always desired and dream of, I am black bold and proud of my color so distinct, the mind of greatness in me that nothing can take away the African in me.
