Memorial Day began as an act of collective remembrance led by Black people. In 1865, freed slaves in Charleston honored fallen soldiers with dignity and ceremony. That legacy of honoring sacrifice lives on.

We're proud to honor Sidney Baptista, founder & CEO of @PYNRS_, as our Innovation Leader Award honoree at the BECMA Vanguard Awards. He turned down sponsorships to build on his own terms — proving Black entrepreneurs can own, not just participate.

Reverend Jesse Jackson understood that equality means ownership, access, and wealth — not just representation. Through Operation PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition, he opened doors that had been systematically shut. We honor his legacy by continuing the work he devoted his life to.

Nicole Obi of @becmainc shares how Black-owned businesses face higher barriers to capital and thinner margins. My SPARK Act invests in local incubators, lenders, and flexible financing to help entrepreneurs grow, hire, and compete.

From Fitchburg to Plymouth, 161 cities and towns have said YES to more housing options through the #MBTACommunities Act. Let’s build stronger, more inclusive communities together.
