The Black Experience
by William C Walker Jr.


In honor of Black History Month 2014 I figured I'd share the short video I made for my church's black history month program.  While I tried to do a good job to cover some historic and memorable moments in black history. There's truly no way to fully capture the entire black experience in a short video montage or even a whole month to be honest.  Our history is deep and rich, it's why we need to embrace it and celebrate throughout the year!  We can depend on others to take it seriously or even care it's up to us as people to be proud of where we've been and where we're going.  When I see things like the Michael David Dunn trial the man who shot and killed an unarmed black teen after a dispute over loud music, it's hard to feel like much has changed.  But we've come a very long way from slavery to now and when I think about all that we've been through as a people it's been remarkable.  I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it.
