February is our chance to really celebrate the central role African-Americans played in U.S. history. Black History Month is an annual celebration of freedom, equality and the achievements of African-Americans. Many black women have become an inspiration to me through their hard work and ability to conquer adversity.<\/p>\n

Every now and again, we need a little pick-me-up. Feed your inspiration as you bask in the words of these notable black women:<\/p>\n
