Happy #PrideMonth. Pride is rooted in protest, solidarity, and the belief that everyone deserves to live free from fear, harm, and discrimination.
My mother, Coretta Scott King, carried that commitment forward, ensuring LGBTQ+ voices were included during the 20th anniversary of the March on Washington and speaking at Atlanta Pride in 1996
Pride is also a time to uplift LGBTQ+ people of color whose voices, leadership, and courage have too often carried this movement forward without enough recognition.
Black history is American history. The music, the movements, the sacrifice, the triumph - it has all shaped who we are.
In celebrating Black History Month, let us learn the untold stories and honor those who paved the way for progress.

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what weโve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the loveย
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;ย
In the end, gorgeously,ย
Endures our enormity.ย
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.
