Find room in your heart for a
stranger,
Your friends are already there,
but there are many others who need
some love that you could spare.
Make room in your heart for the
weary,
for the lost and the lonely too.
You know -''but for the grace of
God"
one of them could be you.
Each good deed becomes a seed
you plant along the way,
and it's said-they will all come back
"tenfold" to you some day.
But the seeds you scatter all along
life's road on which you trod-
will never grow if you don't save
some room in your heart for God!

THE 10 MOST EXCITING COUPLES IN AM ERICA-
Celebrity twosome Phylicia and Ahmad Rashad,
and Olympic medalist Florence Griffith-Joyner and
her husband Al Joy ner are among Ebony s “10 Most
Exciting Couples,” in the February issue. The
Rashads, whose 1985 engagement was affirmed via
national TV rank high on the list, as their combined
popularity and high profile careers make them an
obvious favorite. “ If we are an exciting couple,”
says Phylicia, “ it’s because we are excited about
ourselves and about each other.” The Joy ners, who
first met in 1980 and later married in 1987, won a
honeymoon trip to Jamaica on TV’s Newlywed Game.”
The pair drew worldwide attention when Florence
collected three gold and one silver medal at the 1988
Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, setting a world’s
record in the women’s 100-meter dash. “Al is my
mentor,” says Florence. “ He keeps me motivated.
The world record belongs to him.” In celebration of
Black love, Ebony’s other exciting couples include
Rev. and Mrs. Jesse Jackson, Bill and Camille
Cosby, Tim and Daphne Reid and Norm Nixon and
Debbie Allen. (Photo courtesy of Ebony)

How many Black
Americans are you familiar with
in the history of our country?
Chances are, not that many
because you won’t find them in
most history books. But Black
History Month gives us a chance
to become aware of the contribu
tions many Black Americans have
made in science, medicine, industry,
agriculture, literature and more.
Join us in the observation of Black
History Month and broaden your knowledge
of how we, collectively, as a people have
made this country what it is today.
