Today is Juneteenth. On this day in 1865, the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom. As we commemorate this important day in history, let us reflect on the progress made while recognizing the work that still lies ahead. At Worthington Steel, Our Philosophy guides us to create an inclusive environment for our employees while influencing changes in the communities where we live and work. Let’s keep moving forward together. #Juneteenth #DrivingSteelForward

Building isn't always about "brick and mortar." It's about laying a foundation for future generations. Leaving a legacy and a framework, worth building upon. Tubman, Du Bois, Douglass, Sen. Lewis, Malcom, so many. All futurists of their time. April 8, 2024 begins a year like never before. We Honor the Ancestors in a new Century. Let's pray, let's prep, let's build...and never let the dust settle! - Century 5-10-10-75 See the BIG picture at https://lnkd.in/eM8UC6NV

Watch me and Rolf Diamant discuss the role of Frederick Olmsted in the formation of the National Park system, his connection to abolition and the Civil War, and why that matters for Rock Creek Park as a part of the Rock Creek Conservancy's Race, History, and Rock Creek series.

Energy is an eternal topic for humanity. Until we find more reliable and safer nuclear energy, clean energy will undoubtedly be superior to fossil fuels. This is the reason why I dedicated myself to the solar energy industry. Clean energy is not just a choice; it is aresponsibility. Once, my son proudly told me, "Mom, you are doing something as great as Mr. Beast, making our planet a better place." His encouragement has strengthened my resolve to continue in the field of renewable energy. Seeing the smiling faces of our local workers at the factory and hearing them share stories about how this job allows their children to go to school, enablesthem to buy nice clothes, or addnew appliances to their homes fills me with joy. This is not just ajob; it is a source of hope and a better future. Our solar panel factory will soon open in Texas, and this is not only the fulfillment of my dream but also the result of our team's collective effort. I believe that through our hard work, we will bring clean energy to more people and create a better future for our planet. #manurfacturing #renewableenergy #solarenergy
Imperial Star is thrilled to be featured by the Houston Business Journal about the opening of our brand new 1.5 GW domestic manufacturing facility. The Houston-Tomball area has welcomed us with open arms, with Tomball Economic Development Committee Executive Director Kelly Violette quoting: "We're very excited to have this company coming in to set up their headquarters here and for them to do the work they're doing in clean energy. It's a good fit for Tomball." With a five-year economic impact prediction of $22.5 million attributed to payroll alone, it is not hard to see why! We're thrilled to officially be a part of the growing #cleanenergy movement in Texas! https://zurl.co/xga5 (Based in Houston? DM us personally for information about our grand opening next month) #ImperialStarSolar #HoustonBusinessJournal #SolarManufacturing

Darity Jr, W. (2008). Forty Acres and a Mule in the 21st Century. Social Science Quarterly, 89(3), 656-664. Abstract: In general, a reparations program is intended to achieve three objectives: acknowledgment of a grievous injustice, redress for the injustice, and closure of the grievances held by the group subjected to the injustice. Three types of injustices motivate a program of reparations for black Americans: slavery, the nearly century-long Jim Crow regime following Reconstruction, and ongoing discrimination. Inauguration of a reparations program on behalf of black Americans preferably will be undertaken via legislative action at the federal level, rather than by judicial fiat. Logistical issues addressed in the article include the determination of the magnitude of the reparations bill and the criteria to be used to identify those eligible to receive reparations. The present-day value of 40 acres and a mule can provide the foundation for calculating the magnitude of reparations owed to black Americans.

Check out this interesting article from BBC about how Unions are calling to save Harland and Wolff's Scottish yards. The situation is crucial and it's important to support the preservation of these historic yards. It's great to see organizations standing up for the preservation of important parts of our history and industry. Let's hope for a positive resolution soon! #HarlandandWolff #ScottishYards #IndustryPreservation https://ift.tt/gi7yKs0

It's always a pleasure getting to speak to people who are interested in preservation. It's a core part of our mission at Preservan™ Franchising I had the chance to speak to members of the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation and share tips on how to find help in the historic space and how to train the next generation so we don't lose the skills needed to repair and not replace. https://lnkd.in/dxegGHt2
