Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of the Black community. On this day in 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, marking a pivotal moment in American history. Juneteenth is a celebration of emancipation and a testament to the enduring spirit of resilience. Despite centuries of oppression, the fight for freedom, equality, and justice continues. As we honor this day, let's reflect on the lessons of resilience it teaches us: 🌟 Strength in Adversity: Even in the face of unimaginable hardships, the pursuit of freedom and equality never wavered. 🌟 Power of Community: We can overcome the most significant challenges and create a better future for all. 🌟 Embracing Authenticity: Celebrate your heritage, culture, and identity with pride. Let's carry these lessons forward, building a world where everyone can rise, thrive, and be authentic. Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏽🖤 #Juneteenth #Resilience #Freedom #RisingResilience #BlackHistory #CelebrateFreedom

It starts with Understanding, followed by Empathy, and then Action.

Black History Month is an opportunity to reflect and share the integral moments in Black British history that have impacted our society today. Although the UK has a long way to go, there are so many individuals, both past and present, who are advocating for change and whose voices need uplifting so we can continue to break the cycle of racism.   This week, we are remembering and sharing some important historical facts to help celebrate Black history; click through the below to learn more.   #BlackHistoryMonth2023 #BlackBritian #BHM

Today’s “African Americans and the Arts” Black History Month spotlight is Natasha Jean-Pierre, senior advisor for the Rasmussen University Ocala campus. Q: Which art form most inspires you? “I am most inspired by literary art. Poetry and short stories are my go-to for inspiration. Words can paint a picture in the mind without brushes, offer travel without physical movement and create rhythm without musical instruments. I am in awe at the emotion and thought literary art can evoke. To genuinely laugh out loud, cry or rejoice through reading is a small but meaningful gift. One of my favorite poems is ‘Weekend Glory’ by Maya Angelou.” Q: What does Black History Month mean to you? “Recently, I have been able to reconcile the conflict I had with only a month dedicated to Black history. Just as our lives are important all year round, we take one day to celebrate our birthdays (some of us celebrate for longer). From this perspective, I can better absorb the celebration during the month of February and pay homage to Mother Africa and her impact across continents. I love seeing the African print come out during Black History Month, along with the connectivity that takes place amongst vast ethnic groups and cultures impacted by the African diaspora. Black History Month is a pause to acknowledge and celebrate the ongoing contributions and legacy of Black people through steady variants of turbulence.” #BlackHistoryMonth #RasPride

This February, let's unite in honoring the profound impact of African Americans on our nation's fabric. Beyond remembrance, Black History Month is a celebration of resilience, innovation, and an unyielding spirit that defines our shared history. This year's theme, "African Americans and the Arts," shines a light on their impactful contributions to visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. Today, we pay homage not only to the pioneers in the arts but also to those who moved the civil rights movement forward through their artistic expressions. Over the course of the month, we will be sharing content that revolves around this year's theme, focusing specifically on the contributions and achievements of Black artists. Let's celebrate the vibrant creativity that has not only enriched our culture but played a pivotal role in advancing civil rights. Reflect on the strides made, acknowledge the work still ahead, and together, let's shape a future that embraces diversity and equality. #BlackHistoryMonth #ArtsAndActivism #CivilRightsPioneers (Feed generated with FetchRSS)

Honoring #BlackHistoryMonth! As we kick off February, we want to commend the rich tapestry of African American heritage, culture, and achievements that have shaped history. For 2024, the theme of Black History Month is “African Americans and the Arts.” To recognize this year’s theme as we continue our focus on fostering an inclusive environment and growing in our journey of allyship, Breaktime will be starting a movie club that focuses on a film on Black history. At the end of the month, we’ll be hosting a happy hour to have a thoughtful discussion on the film and discuss ways we can amplify the voices of the African American community. Throughout the month, we’ll also be showcasing the brilliance of Black poets and their contributions to literature. Internally, we’ll be sharing the works of these poets to deepen our understanding and appreciation for their work in Black history. Together, let’s make Black History Month a time of reflection, education, and unity.
