Today we honor #RubyBridges, who, at age 6, became the youngest of a group of Black students first to integrate an all-white Louisiana school. In her life-long fight against injustice, she champions tolerance and change via the power of education. #BlackHistoryMonth2021 #EdEquity

Inspirational activist and ER doctor @DrRobGore founded the Kings Against Violence Initiative to "prevent young men and women of color coming into the emergency department brutally injured for something that was purely avoidable." #SocialJustice #BlackHistoryMonth #BLM

The amazing, award-winning Cicely Tyson graced audiences for decades with meticulously chosen and powerful performances about the Black experience. Her craft was grounded in reflecting the complexity, resiliency and imperfection of humanity. #BlackExcellence #BlackHistoryMonth

Today, we honor the incredible Maya Angelou with her own words. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away." May her beautiful insights continue to take our breath away. #BlackHistoryMonth #blackexcellence #poetry

Today's #BlackExcellence honor goes to Maudelle Tanner Brown Bousfield - a pioneer and true champion of the power of education. Among many firsts, she became Chicago's first Black principal in 1927, building a legacy of excellence for so many leaders to come. #BlackHistoryMonth

With hearts all around us today, we celebrate the achievement of Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. As the first cardiologist to perform open heart surgery, he paved a road of excellence in medicine, also founding the first non-segregated hospital. #BlackHistoryMonth #HeartMonth #BLM

As @KamalaHarris was inspired by Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and civil rights leader Constance Baker Motley, so will generations be inspired by her. On #presidentsday2021, we honor our first Black, first female and first Asian American VP. #BlackHistoryMonth2021

[LEAP Innovations @leapinchicago]

In dazzling American Ballet Theatre audiences, @MistyonPointe also inspires. “My body is very different from most of the dancers I dance with. My hair is different than most I dance with. But I didn't let that stop me. Black girls rock and can be ballerinas.” #BlackExcellence

[LEAP Innovations @leapinchicago]

As a young child, Wilma Rudolph was told she might not be able to walk, after contracting polio. But she went on to become a fierce Olympic Track and Field star, breaking records and triumphantly earning the title of "fastest woman in the world." #BlackHistoryMonth2021

[LEAP Innovations @leapinchicago]

"If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.” Today we honor @BishopJakes for the inspiration he provides to the world. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence
