All across this nation, we've witnessed young people standing up to the rise of fascism. History has shown us that it was always the young people at the forefront of change.

W.E.B. Du Bois championed women’s rights, and his words still resonate. In “The Damnation of Women,” he wrote: “The future woman must have a life, work, and economic independence. She must have knowledge. She must have the right of motherhood at her own discretion.”
W.E.B. Du Bois was a scholar, activist, and co-founder of the NAACP who advanced a bold vision for civil rights. He argued for higher education, political participation, and direct challenges to inequality. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor his intellectual leadership and lasting influence.

I'm always inspired by women and mothers who have gone through the toughest moments that any of us could imagine, and yet every single day still working for all of us. It's those women who give me the most inspiration, hope, and strength.

The most important thing about a person is not the texture of their hair or the color of their skin, but the texture and quality of your soul.
This revolution will not begin in legislation or the streets; it must be awakened in the soul. Do not sleep through this great revolution.

Renee Good's brothers delivered a powerful testimony on the legacy of love she lived and spread to others.

One of the first examples of feminine power that I think of is Coretta Scott King. On the 20th anniversary of her passing, I'm inspired by the way she carried the movement forward for her children with courage, love, and vision, & by our responsibility to continue her work for generations to come.🌹

The youth of today are not waiting to inherit a world they believe in. They're rolling up their sleeves and putting themselves on the front line to design it.

In 1967, Beth Israel Synagogue was bombed by the KKK for standing with Black Mississippians. Nearly 60 years later, the same synagogue was targeted again in an arson hate crime.
Hate resurfaces when history is ignored. We must confront it together.

People who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it. Education has always been the backbone of every justice movement. It's how we pass down truth and prepare the next generation to lead. Sharing knowledge is one of the simplest yet most profound acts of service.
