16th Black Love Day Focuses on "Belief" as New President Raises Spirituality Issues

"Belief Changes Things" is the theme of this year's national, Black Love Day- Feb. 13 as it celebrates 16 years and the presidency of Barack Obama, a Black man whose candidacy inspired millions with its message of hope and change, who during the campaign trail and still in the early days of his presidency, challenges our notions of spirituality.

 

 

Black Love Day  (BLD) is the 3rd national, commemorative African American holiday (wholyday) observance of atonement, and reconciliation, celebration and 24 hour demonstration of love's healing power and right relationships. On BLD, at best, we show 5 Tenets (specific acts) of love ¡V towards the Creator, for Self, for the Family, for the Black Community and for the Black Race. Also in the same 24 hours, Whites show "love in action" towards Blacks, atonement or introspection of their racial attitudes, behaviors and fears.
