Listen to Each Other
Greetings, North American Division Family,
It seems like we just entered year 2021. And just like that, it is February. With so much going on, time passes very quickly. February in the United States has been designated as Black History Month. We celebrate it every year with the intention of fostering a better understanding of African Americans and their history in this country. The celebration this year in 2021 has special meaning given the impact of COVID, the economic downturn, political turmoil, and the racial unrest in our country. In many ways, the divide seems to be getting even deeper. Perhaps it s just deep-seated issues (that have always existed but have been bubbling beneath the surface), that are just coming out to be seen by all. Black History Month is just that it is the history of a people, my people, Black people, their journey, their struggles, their disappointments, their contributions, and their triumphs. It is history.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In honor of Black History Month News4Jax is sharing a piece of Black history every day. Some will be local places and people that you might have never heard of before.
As a general rule, nothing sparks nostalgia that takes us back to our roots like food. That’s especially true for the owners of Mr. Potato Spread, a Black-owned restaurant in Regency Square Mall.
“Our families would say you can taste the passion and the food,” co-owner Lakita Spann said.
Their best-selling item is the “Crab Pot,” a recipe that had been passed down for generations. The secret to the recipe is in what they learned from their grandmothers.
