“Trumpism, at its core, is the latest example of the fantasy of white America. We must say this explicitly and repeatedly, because it is at the root of the choice we face as a nation.” —Eddie S. Glaude Jr. This is a must-read that challenges us to scrutinize our shared history and its impactful myths. Diversity is not only our shared reality but also one of our greatest strengths. If we are to move forward as a nation, we must reconcile with our past and celebrate our differences to progress toward an equitable and inclusive future where everyone can thrive. https://lnkd.in/e58zwvxN

On this Fourth of July, we're reminded that true progress comes from actively fighting for justice. 💪 Nwamaka Agbo's powerful piece in The Chronicle of Philanthropy highlights the crucial role of organized resistance led by Black Americans in driving democracy's greatest advancements. "Those who seek the full realization of our democracy strive only for the narratives and promises made to all Americans. As history shows, progress is achieved by constantly demanding greater inclusion and equity. Social advancements aren't handed out to people standing in line, patiently waiting their turn." Agbo also addresses the shortcomings of philanthropy: "Philanthropy's heavy-handed restricted funding fails to recognize that people live not in silos but lead whole and integrated lives." It is a moral responsibility to use our voice, power, and resources to support those committed to the ever-enduring struggle for a more just world, a fair and equitable democracy, and the right for everyone to participate in this great multiracial democratic experiment. Let's continue to demand greater inclusion and equity for all. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gEJKZwv8 #BlackResistance

During Black History Month, we honor the enduring struggles and remarkable achievements of African Americans throughout history. This period also prompts us to contemplate the ongoing quest for equality and justice for all. This month, we celebrate the profound influence of African Americans on the arts, recognizing their creativity, resilience, and innovation that have enriched our culture and inspired successive generations. Let's pay homage to their legacy by amplifying diverse voices and fostering inclusive spaces for artistic expression. In observance of Black History Month, our colleagues at Element Materials Technology will engage in local discussions, collaborative learning, and introspection regarding the collective responsibility we bear in forging a world that is fair and equitable for everyone. As Carter Godwin Woodson astutely noted in "The Mis-Education of the Negro," history demonstrates that regardless of shifts in power or revolutionary movements, those who rely solely on others without learning to be self-sufficient ultimately fail to secure additional rights or privileges. I look forward to an exciting month ahead 💙 #BlackHistoryMonth #Equality #Justice #AfricanAmericanArt #DiverseVoices #BHM #BlackExcellence #AfricanAmericanHistory #BlackCulture #BlackPride #BlackLeadership #BlackAchievement #CivilRights #Equality #Justice #DiverseVoices #Inclusion #CelebratingBlackHistory #BlackLegacy #HistoricalHeroes #InspiringBlackLeaders #RememberingOurRoots #Empowerment #UnityThroughDiversity
