Observing #BlackHistoryMonth requires more from us than simply acknowledging its place on the calendar. It requires us to actively seek out the impacts of Black contributions to society within our own communities--and we look forward to sharing more stories of Black History in Delray Beach this month. 📆 On Wednesday, June 3, 2020, the EJS Project, along with a group of community leaders, organized and led one of the largest peaceful protests to ever occur in Delray Beach. It was important for us to participate in this movement against police brutality and injustices to demonstrate to our students and community that we were and are willing to walk the walk of our core values, which include creating equity of opportunity and challenging systems. 🪧 By organizing swiftly, we aimed to convey a clear message that Black Lives Matter, even before the national momentum peaked. Through proactive leadership, including the involvement of Delray Beach's first Black Police Chief, Javaro Sims, and community engagement, we created a platform for individuals to unite, voice their concerns, and stand in solidarity during this challenging historical period. 📸: Pictured on the front lines of our peaceful protest are a Pastor, the first Black Police Chief in Delray Beach, leaders from Haitian Community, and hundreds of others following as far as the eye can see. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistory #DelrayBeach #FloridaBlackHistory #PeacefulProtest

❓ Why February? Unveiling Black History Month's Significance: Black History Month's choice of February is deeply rooted in honoring the profound impact of African Americans on the nation's history. Initiated by Carter G. Woodson in 1926, February was selected for its significance to the Black community, marking a period for reflection and celebration of Black excellence and resilience. Woodson, a Harvard-educated historian, was inspired to promote the study and recognition of African American achievements after witnessing the lack of representation in history. This was a step towards highlighting the indispensable role of Black Americans in shaping the nation. As we observe #BlackHistoryMonth, it's a call to honor the legacy and achievements of Black individuals across all aspects of society. #blackexcellence #historymatters #blackhistory #didyouknow

It's been an incredible journey through #BlackHistoryMonth 2024🖤✊🏿. As we wrap up this series of daily posts, let’s remember that Black History is NOT a separate entity from American History; rather, it is an integral and inseparable part of the nation's narrative. The contributions, struggles, and achievements of Black people have played a significant role in shaping the nation's identity AND… progress. Acknowledging Black History every day of the year is essential because it recognizes the ongoing impact of Black Americans on all aspects of society, including culture, business, politics, science, and the arts. Embracing this perspective fosters a more inclusive and accurate understanding of the nation's past, present, and future. By incorporating Black history into the broader narrative, we promote unity, diversity, and a collective appreciation for the resilience and triumphs of the Black community. Let’s continue to commemorate the stories, achievements, and legacies of remarkable individuals who have shaped our world. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory365 #CelebrateExcellence To view the daily posts visit IG @showupllc.
