Most people will never have the experience of being a Black male, I personally never had to bear the struggles Black men encounter on a daily basis.

He has been through a lot in his 22 years here on earth. He lost his father at the age of six months. He grew up hearing family members describing the qualities and physical similarities he share with his deceased father. He often described hearing these stories often made him feel bittersweet; it brings a gigantic smile to his face, but it is sad because he will never have that father/son relationship. Kelsey was lucky to have

Because one of Helen’s sons was sick with was thought to be tuberculosis, the family made a trip to Colorado on the advice of the child’s physician during the summer of 1909.

Kathryn came to court at about the age of 19 as a lady in waiting to Anne of Cleves and there was no doubt that the spirited young girl caught Henry’s attention. Sixteen days after he was free of Anne, Henry took his fifth wife, Kathryn Howard, on July 28, 1540. Henry was 49 and his bride was no older than 19. King Henry lavished gifts on Kathryn and called her his ‘rose without thorn’ and the ‘very jewel of womanhood’. Less than a year into Kathryn marriage the rumors of her infidelity began.
