Nothing is sweeter than the annual tradition of gathering with your family on Thanksgiving Day. The sounds of joyful music, laughter and the smell of delicious baked foods are what we look forward to each year. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the congregation of family members in one place is not ideal. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has advised limited travel this holiday season due to a dramatic increase in cases. But perhaps this year we can create new family traditions. As a community, we as Black people have the opportunity to spark something special. A virtual Electric Slide dance party, a pie-eating contest and/or game night on Zoom are just a few ideas to keep the holiday spirit going. Although you may not be able to show off your grandmother’s famous sweet potato pie, it is important to remember the true meaning of this holiday and what we ought to be thankful for. Family, food and love have always kept our community going, and this year it will be no different. So besides watching the football games on Thanksgiving  Day, reflect on memories from years past and plan on new and exciting things for a post-COVID-19  future. Happy holidays, everyone!  – Alex D.
