This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the profound contributions, achievements, and rich cultural heritage of Black individuals throughout history and in our communities today. As we reflect on the words of leaders like Malcolm X, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Michelle Obama, Amanda Gorman, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we’re reminded of the power of resilience, justice, and the ongoing pursuit of equality. Let’s celebrate, reflect, and recognize the legacy of excellence that inspires us all. 🙌🏾💫
