[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

On February 1, 1960, 4 Black college students sat at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth’s in Greensboro, NC.

In doing so, they inspired thousands to stand up & march for equality and justice.

Remembering the #GreensboroFour today on the 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth.

This one feels right today:

"In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.

She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.

Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK

ᎣᏏᏲ! Today, we're kicking off #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth! We're celebrating who we are historically, who we are today, and who we will be in the future.

Follow along all month long to learn more about Indigenous and Cherokee history, culture, language and people.

November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. This month we revel in the rich and diverse cultures of Native people. Here is a collection of books from Native & Indigenous voices to read throughout the month and year.

This year marks the first time a U.S. president has officially recognized Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Here's a look at the growing movement to acknowledge it — and what it means for Native Americans today.

[Steven Koch @SKochPR]

Super excited & proud of the new @PrairieRidgeHS group: PR Diversity & Culture Club @prdiversityand1, a student-led group aimed at sharing and increasing understanding of diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Give them a follow! Xtra thx to Paloma for her leadership here.

[PR Diversity and Culture Club @pr_diversity]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing Mrs. Glover. These simple words show how doing the right thing is far from challenging.

[Miss Glover @PHY6PHUN]

@prdiversityand1 One of my favorite quotes from Dr Martin Luther King Jr ❤️ At a visit to the @NCRMuseum (which EVERY American should visit at some point!) I bought a bumper sticker with this that I still keep on my fridge to remind myself in my decisions ❤️

[Alia Bluemlein @MrsBluemlein]

So excited for the @prdiversityand1 club!
