OpEd: 'We don’t need your words or symbolic camaraderie, we need action.'
. Our country is repeating the parts of U.S. history that we should have learned from — the parts that our leaders claim to be so far removed from, especially when February arrives.
This month, our lawmakers will praise the strength and impact of our Black history-makers while disregarding the fact that they are walking among the Black history-makers of tomorrow. These legislators are the leaders who will be in future history books, as the people who held up progress — as the leaders who refused to create a better nation for Black people and for everyone else too.
When we talk about Black history, we’re not just talking about the past. We’re talking about the history being made in the present as well as what’s to come. Because Black history is a living, breathing thing. Who and where we were yesterday directly impacts who we are today. And who we are today is a direct reflection of who we’ll be tomorrow.
