A couple of weekends ago, I had the great pleasure to participate in the Black History Month activities at Midland College (Midland, Texas) being coordinated by my great friends, James & Robbyne Fuller and the planning committee.
It was incredible to see the outpouring of interest and support for honoring the contribution of great philosphers, scientists, literary scholars, inventors, entertainers, educators and public servants sprinkled throughout our ancestrial legacy. Regardless of the color of our skin, we should all be inspired by stories of courage and perseverance it took for these great historical figures just to have the right to pursue their dreams, let alone the commitment it took to actually accomplish them.
Soul Purpose was able to participate in the activities by presenting the first Soul Purpose Academic Excellence Awards to 26 deserving students from Midland College and Midland Independent School District who were selected by committee for their academic excellence and community service. It was an wonderful way to further our corporate mission to redefine empowerment...and what group could be more ready for the message that they can do anything and be anything they wish than our young adults.
No matter your chosen field, we should all lend a helping hand, an encouraging word and offer the benefit of our wisdom to those who will come after us.
