Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

Charlie Rangel, legendary Harlem congressman & political icon, has passed away at 94. A war hero, master legislator & tireless advocate for Black America, Rangel didn’t just serve—he shaped history. He was Harlem’s voice in Washington & a giant in every sense. Rest in power.
