It’s often overlooked that MLK’s dream was divisive in his day.

Resistance is not a signal of failure. It’s often a clue that you’re ahead of your time. Visions for change elicit opposition from defenders of the status quo.

Rocking the boat is a precursor to progress.

When Black people were locked out of higher ed institutions, HBCU’s were a gateway to learning. They represent the power to thrive against adversity and remain a safe space for Black community and joy today. Glad to join @UNCF’s Black History Breakfast this morning.

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

Black history is American history and HBCUs play a vital role. Graduates lead in every field—doctors, lawyers, business owners, scientists, artists, engineers, and educators—and shape our state and country for the better. Happy to join @UNCF’s Black History Breakfast yesterday!
