“To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware that we did not make ourselves.”
— Alice Walker

Simplified Meaning:
Recognizing our ancestors shows that we understand we are not alone in making who we are; they have played a part too. Just like how a tree needs roots to grow and be strong, we need to remember and appreciate the people who came before us. For example, think about a family recipe that has been passed down from your grandparents. If you cook that dish today, you’re using their knowledge and traditions, not just your own skills. In life, it’s similar; many of our values, traditions, and even successes come from the efforts and teachings of those before us. By appreciating this, we stay connected to our roots and can build a better future with that foundation.
