The United States celebrates the birth of the great Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., in January and Black History Month in February. While we celebrate civil rights progress, we do so as public schools continue failing generations of Black and brown children.
We celebrate civil rights this year in reflection of 2020, one of the most challenging years in modern history.
Kingâs holiday and Black History Month highlight the value of exemplary, courageous leadership in the face of seemingly unmovable opposition.
Itâs been said leadership is simply the ability to influence, to convince others to accomplish what they think they would not, nor could not, do.
