As we honor Black History Month, it's important to acknowledge the unfortunate reality that some people in America are resistant to discussing our history and even attempt to ban books. However, we must recognize that without reflecting on where we have been, we cannot hope for a truly bright and inclusive future. Black history is a tapestry of resilience, triumph, and progress, and it has shaped the world in countless ways. From the groundbreaking achievements of icons like Tina Turner, who defied all odds to become a legendary musician, to the historic presidency of Barack Obama, the first African American to hold the highest office in the United States, Black culture has consistently shaped, enriched, and inspired our society. This month, let's celebrate the incredible contributions of Black individuals throughout history and embrace the power of their stories. By acknowledging and appreciating Black history, we pave the way for a more inclusive future, where diversity is celebrated, and equality is a reality for all. Together, let's strive for a society that is rooted in understanding, respect, and unity. #BlackHistoryMonth #CelebrateDiversity #HistoryMatters

Sister Cities Project aligns with the growing number of voices who want to honor Black History and say, every February, that "Black History is American History". We honor, respect, consider and reflect on Black History in our work, year 'round. History influences where we are today with equality and indicates how much work there is still yet to do in creating a world where equality is the norm. Limiting the history we are exposed to, creates a blindness to our challenges. Please Join us in learning more about Black History Month and honoring Black Excellence and contributions throughout history. As an Ally, you can stay the course and continue to be open to learning about all Black history in order to address systemic systems that are barriers to equality. When Carter G. Woodson established Negro History week in 1926, he realized the importance of providing a theme to focus the attention of the public. The intention has never been to dictate or limit the exploration of the Black experience, but to bring to the public’s attention important developments that merit emphasis. This years Theme is about the African Americans and the Arts. Please read about what this means in the link here.https://https://lnkd.in/gQcPbja

Honoring Freedom and Empowering Unity! 🤎🫂 Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, holds profound significance in American history. It commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of the emancipation reached those enslaved in Galveston, Texas, marking the actual end of slavery in the United States. This powerful day represents resilience, freedom, and the ongoing fight for equality. Juneteenth celebrates and encourages us to reflect upon the struggles and sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and justice. It serves as a reminder to continue educating ourselves about Black history, highlighting both the progress made and the work that remains. Here are some ways we can continue to support our friends, family and colleagues in and out of the workplace: ✨ Support Black-Owned businesses in your community ✨ Strengthen your cultural awareness by exploring Black history ✨ Listen to the experiences of your Black peers and colleagues
