letter from the editor
JACKIE PERRY

After a brief hiatus, the staff of
the Lighthouse of Hope Magazine are proud to be able to
bring you another edition of
a long-awaited issue.

As another Black History
Month has closed and many
of the activities and celebrations have ended, it is becoming increasingly
clear that more vigilance will be required in
order to ensure that Black History remains
alive and serves the needs of people everywhere.
Philosophers have long conceded that every
man has two educations: “that which is given to him, and the other that which he gives
himself”.
It is our hope that this issue will serve as a
resource for the education that you will continue to provide for yourself now that Black
History Month has ended. Carter G. Woodson
once said, “What we are merely taught seldom nourishes the mind like that which we
teach ourselves.”
It is our prayer that you will receive greater insights into our church heritage as well as our
natural heritage and understand and appreciate the past and be able to readily embrace
the future.
Again, welcome back to the Lighthouse of
Hope!
