I continue to mourn the life of George Floyd, whose murder one year ago led to a national reckoning on race and social justice. I hope that his memory continues to challenge us as a nation to be a place of fairness, equality, and hope.

White supremacy, colonialism, and imperialism frame oppression as progress. And all three characterize those that they savagely violate as savage violators.

The renowned Creole composer Edmond Dédé was born in New Orleans in 1829. His parents had emigrated from Saint-Domingue during the revolution, settling among the French-speaking free people of color that lived largely apart from the Americans who were busy settling Uptown.

Happy Birthday to Rosa Parks! The civil rights activist who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. “I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free.” . #EmancipationMovie #BlackHistoryMonth

In 1926, Carter G. Woodson founded the first Negro History Week, timed to coincide with Abraham Lincoln’s and Fredrick Douglass’s birthdays. It wasn’t until 1976 that President Ford extended the observation to a full month—one honoring the contributions of black Americans. #BHM

After the Civil War, newspapers ran heartbreaking yet hopeful ads like this one, placed by formerly enslaved people searching for family members who had been separated by slavery. Behind each of these tersely-worded, somewhat formal ads is a struggle and a story. #BHM
