February is American Heart Month and the first Friday of February is National Wear Red Day – a day to help raise awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. and it is largely preventable. February is also Black History Month which dates back to 1915 when Carter G. Woodson, the Father of Black History, created the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Also in this episode, Pacific Union Conference president, Bradford C. Newton shares his thoughts on Black History Month.
