Happy Birthday to Henry Ossian Flipper! He was the first Black American cadet to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1877. He was also the first Black man to be commissioned in the Army, he led buffalo soldiers of the 10th Cavalry.

Wilma Rudolph turned determination into history, becoming the first American woman to win three gold medals in a single Olympic Games. Overcoming adversity, she ran with strength, grace, and purpose, inspiring generations to believe in what is possible. During Women’s History Month, we honor her legacy and the doors she opened through excellence and perseverance. #WilmaRudolph #MLK #WomensHistoryMonth #BelovedCommunity #TheKingCenter

Ryan Coogler becomes the second Black filmmaker to ever win Best Original Screenplay at the #Oscars He joins Jordan Peele, who was the first.

Today we remember Breonna Taylor and the injustice of her death. Her life was taken in a tragic and unjust act that continues to call our nation to confront the systems and policies that allow such harm to occur. Honoring her memory requires more than remembrance. It requires a continued commitment to justice, accountability, and the work of creating the Beloved Community. #BreonnaTaylor #TheKingCenter #MLK #BelovedCommunity

Thankful for another day.

On this day in 1959, 69 black boys were padlocked in their dormitory at school and it was then set on fire. 21 burnt to death while 48 managed to escape. A THREAD.

I’ll just leave this right here. 🥺

We are kicking off Women’s History Month by celebrating the incredible American Olympic gymnast, Gabby Douglas. Gabby became the second Black American woman to win an Olympic gold medal and the first to win the individual all-around gold. I was honored to witness her historic achievement in person while serving as a commentator for FOX Sports at the London Games. Attached is a photo of us from a few years ago at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Doesn’t matter the league, Chelsea Gray is a winner. Congratulations to our POINT GAWD & MVP 👑

Our Black boys are considered grown at 10 according to them

My hero. My inspiration. The greatest woman I have ever known. Her courage, faith, and unwavering commitment to justice continue to guide me every day. #CorettaScottKing #WomensHistoryMonth

On the final day of Black History Month, we celebrate St. Louis comedian, actor, writer, and civil rights activist, Dick Gregory. Never afraid to speak truth to power, Gregory used his comedic talent to draw attention to the hypocrisy of white supremacy and economic injustice. Gregory participated in several key protests during the Civil Rights Movement, including the 1965 Selma to Montgomery March. Through his participation in the movement, he became a close ally to both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers. Gregory would go on to spend his life standing up to injustice, from protesting the Vietnam War, to fighting against the South African apartheid system, and more. We remember him today for his impact on St. Louis, his bravery, insight, and timeless wisdom.

i remember exactly where i was when i found out black canadians invented hockey in 1895 , wish there were more black players and fans

Anna Murray Douglass is often overshadowed by her husband, Frederick Douglass — yet she made his freedom and his life’s work possible. Born free in Maryland around 1813, Anna Murray grew up witnessing the harsh realities of slavery in a border state. As a young woman working in Baltimore, she met Frederick Douglass while he was still enslaved. When he made plans to escape in 1838, it was Anna who played a crucial role in making that freedom possible. She provided financial support, helped organize the logistics of his departure, and gave him a sailor’s uniform that helped him travel north undetected. Shortly after his successful escape, Anna joined him in New York, and the two were married. Together they built a life dedicated to the fight against slavery and injustice. While Frederick Douglass became one of the most influential abolitionists, writers, and orators of the 19th century, Anna’s work was often carried out behind the scenes. She managed their household, raised their five children, and maintained a stable home environment that allowed Frederick to travel extensively, lecture, write, and organize. Their home in Rochester, New York, became a station on the Underground Railroad, sheltering freedom seekers on their journey north. In addition to supporting abolitionist efforts, Anna was active in women’s and community organizations, contributing to sewing circles and aid societies that supported both formerly enslaved people and soldiers during the Civil War. Though history has frequently centered Frederick Douglass’s public achievements, it is important to acknowledge that movements are rarely built by one person alone. Anna Murray Douglass’s labor, sacrifice, and steady commitment formed a foundation that made much of that public work possible. Her story reminds us that leadership takes many forms. Some voices fill lecture halls. Others sustain homes, protect communities, and quietly shape history from behind the scenes.

God over everything.

Melissa Harville-LeBron became the first Black woman to solely own a NASCAR-licenced team. She proved that being a driver mum can be the ultimate launchpad for becoming a multicultural pioneer in one of the world’s most traditional sports #BlackHistoryMonth #FemalesInMotorsport
