Happy 99th Birthday to lyric soprano Mary Violet Leontyne Price. A 19-time Grammy Award winner, she was the first Black woman to perform as a lead at the Metropolitan Opera.

“Be black, shine, aim high.”

That's the standard she set and one that continues to inspires us to do the same.

#OTD in 1934, baseball legend Hank Aaron was born.

He broke records while receiving death threats and hate mail simply because he was a Black man who leaned into his greatness.  Having the courage to persevere in the face of all that he endured, gives me every reason to keep swinging too.
