A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.
I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.
I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

Police donβt wear masks. State troopers donβt wear masks. The National Guard doesnβt wear masks. But you know who does?
White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

With all restrictive politics flying around lately, it made me wonderβ¦when will we tighten up truth-in-advertising laws?
Arlington Cowboys?
Arlington Rangers?
Soon-to-be Plano Stars?
If the SAVE Act can be used to βensure the truthβ, surly we do the same with billionairesβ¦right?

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future β a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
