Cedric The Entertainer’s Response On Youth and Black History

Today our question is “How do we get our black youth to take their history serious?”.

@OnPointCelebz we have to spark their interest w/events or people that are more relatable to their generation.. Then take them deeper

@OnPointCelebz Constantly tell them how sacred it is. Remind them people suffered without meeting us but counted us worthy of their pain.

.Show them how rich Black History is, then show them how to APPLY that knowledge to assist them in their everyday lives. @OnPointCelebz

I have found that some of our youth don’t take their history as serious as they should. They kind of look at it as if its a thing of the past; but the reality is that it isn’t. We may not be legally going through segregation; but we are still segregating ourselves mentally. When our youth understand where they came, from and what they are capable of, their journey to success is endless.
