A Look At Black History Through The Eyes Of A Photographer

Eunique J Gibson

February is a big month a lot of things are happening and for the African American population it’s a month of celebrating those who are paving the way or have pave the way but should it be just one month or should we be celebrating Black History every day of the year.  Morning Talk Show Host Tom Joyner does a segment on his show call Black History 365 Days A Year with Jeff Johnson for Black America Web where he gives a tidbit on something major that happened in Black History on that day in history however this year Mrs. Eunique J Gibson took Black History to a completely new level with her photography.

Eunique J. Gibson is the proud owner of Eunique Gibson Photography in Maryland and this year to celebrate Black History she showed photos of young children dressed up as various historical figures in the black community with a quote from these individuals the project was entitled “BecauseOf Them, We Can”. The project became such a hit with the likes of KerryWashington, Russell Simmons, Common and Tom Joyner all giving her shouts out as well as various news moguls giving her air time that Mrs. Gibson decided to extended the project to early 2014 as well as release the projects for purchase on her site.

The project caught my attention when a friend of mine forward me a photo of a group of children portraying the Divine 9 team with the saying “Brotherhood. Sisterhood. Scholarship. Service. Between the Divine 8 and  the very last photo which is President & First Lady Obama I'd have to say these two were my absolute favorite of the first 28 but they are all absolutely adorable. If you love these photos as much as I do or any of the 28 that are posted at this time feel free to grab one or all of them and preorder the calendar as well believe me the whole project is about to blow up and you do not want to miss it so stay close for more information.

~Truly Blessed,
