As we come to the close of Black History Month today, may we be reminded that our Black Heritage and major contributions of Blacks to the world's culture are a part of God's benevolent love toward us. Love is the power that binds us together in the unity of the Spirit. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "There is amazing power in unity. Where there is true unity, every effort to disunite only serves to strengthen the unity."
