Honored to see my memoir, The Mixed Marriage Project, named as an Editors’ Choice in Sunday’s @nytimesbooks Review!

[Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @PhillyMayor]

When I won a Philadelphia Public School Black History oration contest at the age of 17, it opened a door to possibilities I did not know existed — and thanks to an internship with Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco, my career in public service was launched. 

That profound impact was something I wanted to pass on to the young people of this City when I envisioned our annual One Philly Black History Oratorical Showcase — where we celebrated civic engagement, student excellence, and uplift the voices of our young people, giving them a platform to empower and express themselves.

To all the participants — I am beyond proud of you. You showed courage, discipline and confidence to step forward, to prepare, and to use your voice.

We’re #ONEPHILLY, and that means opening doors and creating opportunities for all to have. We see you. We believe in you. And we support you!

Thank you to the @PHLschools, our participating charter schools, — the team at the @EducationPHL and everyone behind the scenes — for turning this vision into reality.

"Black History Month can be celebrated while classroom practices perpetuating anti-Black ideology exist. The question before us is whether we are prepared to defend and deepen Black intellectual traditions."

Today’s Black History spotlight features Associate Professor Delisha M. Pittman. Her work reminds us that psychology must move beyond "deficit narratives" and instead recognize the rich history of knowledge production within Black communities.
