We will only be free when our Black friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, and partners are free. After all, as Dr King said, our freedom is inextricably bound to each other. [5/5]
This month the US acknowledges Black History Month, a time when we celebrate and uplift contributions of the Black Diaspora both here at home and all over the world.
May this time serve as a reminder to celebrate and uplift the Black people in our lives, not just this month but year round, and - perhaps most critically - may it serve as a catalyst to continue to speak out against racism and anti-Blackness every day of the year. [4/5]

I am cisgender. That is not a slur, it is a truth.
