KIPP New Orleans’ Post

This month we are celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth2023 at Liverpool John Moores University with Liverpool John Moores University Students' Union. This year’s theme is ‘Saluting our Sisters and Matriarchs in Black History’. It is important to emphasise this theme which underscores the pivotal role that Black women have played throughout history in advancing social justice, culture, and community. Black History Month is a time to celebrate the rich tapestry of Black people’s contributions to the world. The conversation surrounding race is both complex and crucial. It encompasses discussions on systemic racism, social justice, inequality, and the lived experiences of individuals from diverse racial backgrounds. However, an often overlooked but essential element of this dialogue is the role of history. To read more about Black History Month at LJMU please visit: https://lnkd.in/eKKkr83s

As a leadership expert with a specific interest in the implications of race and culture on leadership, Black History and Black History Month are particularly impactful to me. To be truly astute and effective as a leader, one must understand others' backgrounds and history. Understanding the true history and presence of Blacks in America and around the world is critical for any exemplary leader. Therefore, this month, we pause to highlight the accomplishments and shed light on the struggle of Blacks in America, both past and president.

🖤 The roots of Black History Month go all the way back to 1925, when Negro History Week was first planned and announced. Following the Civil Rights movement of the ‘60s, the week was finally expanded to a month in 1976. As President Gerald Ford noted, we should recognize and “honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” We still have a lot of work to realize true equality. 🖤 The National Museum of African American History & Culture's 2024 is African Americans and the Arts, celebrating those who use their creative gifts to drive social change. 🖤 There are a wealth of online resources offering education and resources for recognizing Black History in February and all year long: Search the Library of Congress, National Archives, National Endowment for the Humanities, the Smithsonian, and the National Park Service. 🖤 We can all contribute to the continued advancement of black people by seeking to understand our past, and supporting black leaders for our future. Representation matters, and our insistence on it is vital to our collective success. #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #civilrights #blacklivesmatter

In the spirit of #BlackHistoryMonth, I was asked a crucial question: How can we ensure inclusivity in our educational environment? How do we recognize the profound contributions of Black individuals in our curriculum? Let's move beyond the surface, delving into the richness of Ethnic Studies. Rooted in the very land we stand on, it's essential to understand the history and context that has shaped our present. Black History is not a monolith but a vibrant tapestry of joy, struggle, and triumph. Let's bring criticality and depth to our classrooms, exploring first-hand accounts, acknowledging the pivotal role of Black women, and embracing stories of cross-racial solidarity. As we navigate these historical swings and shifts, let's commit to a culture of inspiration and liberation. The role of the State Superintendent shouldn't be a hammer of compliance but a beacon of inspiration, inviting all into the transformative work of racial healing and solidarity. This Black History Month, let's celebrate the entirety of the narrative, fostering understanding, empathy, and a commitment to a more inclusive future. #VincentPerezForWASuperintendent
