I was born and raised in a small city in the south. My hometown is well known for an event that changed the trajectory of the civil rights movement.
My hometown is Selma, Alabama. Daily, I crossed the very bridge that many great leaders including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator John Lewis crossed – the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Thanks to their sacrifices, I was able to freely walk across the bridge that many before me shed blood upon.
Black history means telling the true story of our culture. Telling the true story of our ancestors. Remembering the contributions to our country by Americans of African descent is not only important, it is necessary! I am proud of my history and want my children to feel that same sense of pride when they venture out into the world. This month is a dedication to people who shared in building this great United States of America. Our history should be celebrated and I am thankful to stand on the shoulders of the giants who came before me.
