Karen Groce Horan's Blog
I, Karen Groce Horan, am committing to live this February '21, not Black History month but Black History IS American History Month in an altogether new way. When I contemplated writing this my first official blog post, I had a different plan in mind. As I meditated on it, my thoughts took a whole new surprising direction. As a Black woman with West Indian and African American roots, I have lived a life where I did not see my story in the K-12 history (His-Story) books I was educated in, for history has been written by the victors. Upon realizing and reconciling this, somewhere in my early 20's, I committed to a journey of learning, growing, understanding, and knowing the history of my ancestry, on whose shoulders I stand. On whose very resilience and strength my own existence is founded and built.
