#blackhistorymonth2025 — Public Fediverse posts

On the last day of February, these words from Civil Rights Champion John. R. Lewis give us purpose and determination for the future. The lessons of #BlackHistoryMonth2025 –the protests, the marches, the struggles are not over. They are beginning again.

We are inspired by the goals of multiculturalism and pluralism. The lessons of history are not lost. To call diversity “dumb” is antithetical to everything this country has achieved “in Order to form a more perfect Union.” #BlackHistoryMonth2025

Art is a powerful tool for flipping a racist trope. Kehinde Wiley is a master. Celebrate Black History like never before. Be bold. Correct the narrative. Dare to speak truth. Diversity is our strength. #BlackHistoryMonth2025

Memorial to the Enslaved at William & Mary represents foundational diversity, equity, and inclusion. The site acknowledges past injustices by making the history of enslaved people at the university impossible to ignore. Bricks and mortar cannot be erased. #BlackHistoryMonth2025

Embrace the history. Tell the stories. Face the facts. Work things out. Don’t let government dictate classroom content. Don’t let the state censor lessons. Be caring. Teach the children well. Remember. We are better smarter. We are stronger smarter. Stop the assault on DEIA. #BlackHistoryMonth2025

The new “woke” is broke if we erase Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision and critical discussion about social issues in our classrooms. True progress comes by fostering open dialogue and critical thinking, not by avoiding challenging conversations." #BlackHistoryMonth2025

We can’t allow the arts to be censored or lost by the latest attacks on Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. Accessibility. Kara Walker’s artistic commentaries on social justice are powerful reminders of who we are and where we’ve come from. Celebrate her work. #BlackHistoryMonth2025

Carter Woodson encouraged the study of Black History as a pathway to inspire. War on diversity, equity, inclusion & accessibility, has made it an act of defiance. Education is more than defiance. It liberates the mind. It frees the soul. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth2025
