CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, U.S.A., January 30, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In honor of Black History Month (February), the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization invites you to tour the Scientology Information Center at the corner of Fort Harrison and Cleveland Street in downtown Clearwater. The Center is open from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm and 2 pm to 6:00 pm, Sundays through Fridays and 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Saturdays. See for yourself how Scientologists live out their Creed which in part states:

"We of the Church believe that all men* of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights."

This Creed is demonstrated throughout the Center's interactive exhibits on L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology religion, the humanitarian programs that grew out of his philosophy, the beliefs and practices of Scientology, and videos of thousands of Scientology Churches, missions and groups spanning the globe.

American L. Ron Hubbard lived in Africa in the 1960's. While in the Southern African nation of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Mr. Hubbard wrote a constitution calling for universal African suffrage - an appeal for what he described as "One Man - One Vote" regardless of race, color or creed. White supremacist, and prime minister of Rhodesia, Ian Smith, responded by not extending Mr. Hubbard's visa.

In the meantime, African Americans were coming into their own awareness of their rich history and culture. Historian and African American Carter G. Woodson, born in 1875 to former slaves, had made it his life's work to advance an uplifting history of the descendants of Africans in America. He successfully pushed for a period of time annually for Americans to honor and celebrate Black History. A week in February for such a celebration was extended to the entire month in 1976.

Today, we look around in America and have come to finally celebrate and honor African descendants for helping build America and for inspiring people all over the world through voices of passion, strength and truth.

For more information on Mr. Hubbard, his work in Africa and throughout the world, Scientology and Scientologists, take a tour of the Scientology Information Center located in the stately 1913 Clearwater Building now beautifully restored by the Church of Scientology.
