President Biden establishing the Springfield 1908 Race Riot Monument is a step forward in recognizing not only these horrific events but understanding Black community resilience in the face of violence. We must learn from our past to create a better, stronger future for all.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Yesterday, President Biden signed a proclamation establishing the Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument.

At a time when some are working to rewrite history and erase painful moments in our past, our Administration is committed to protecting places that help tell a more complete story of our nation’s history — including by recognizing difficult moments that have been ignored or obscured for far too long.

In the U.S., major sources of pollution are more likely placed in historically Black and Hispanic communities. It's an injustice that stands in the way of true equity. But our @MargotTBrown says we should learn from the past to shape a better tomorrow.

Senior vice president of justice and equity at @EnvDefenseFund Margot Brown says our history as Black Americans is one of perseverance and of hope. But Black folks and communities of color continue to face the harshest environmental consequences.
