Please Meet Charlotte E. Ray

It’s February again. I thought I would highlight some less obvious African Americans who have contributed to the tapestry of our American history.

Ray truly earned her place in history. She was born in New York City on January 13, 1850, to Charles Bennett Ray and Charlotte Augusta Burroughs Ray.  Charles was a minister at New York’s Bethesda Congregational Church, and editor of the Colored American, an abolitionist……

Are you ready to adjust your focus?

“Ten years from now, it won’t really matter what shoes you wore today, how your hair looked, or what brand of clothes you wore.  What will matter is how you lived, how you loved, and what you learned along the way. Deep down you know this already, right? Yet today, just like the majority of us, you are easily distracted and derailed by the insignificant.
