A month is definitely not enough to commemorate all the contributions of black people to the world and humanity. Still, it serves as a reminder to pause for a moment and recall our shared history. Today together, we strive for greater equality, emphasize the importance of human rights and empower black history-makers to make known their own stories 💜
“I don’t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.” — Morgan Freeman
