Here’s an interesting picture I took when I lived in Georgia. It’s a Forest Service station that burned down, with Smokey the Bear guarding the entrance. What are some lessons we can learn here?

🌟 Reflecting on the Courage of My Great Grandmother during Challenging Times 🌟 As we journey through history, it's crucial to remember the stories that shaped us. Today, I want to share the remarkable story of my African American great grandmother, who lived in Mississippi during the tumultuous year of 1955. Her resilience and unwavering love in the face of adversity continue to inspire me. In 1955, Mississippi was a battleground for civil rights, where segregation and discrimination were deeply entrenched. My great grandmother, a woman of incredible strength and grace, bore witness to the tragic events of that era, including the horrific murder of Emmett Till. Emmett Till's story is a painful reminder of the racial injustice and hatred that marred our history. It's a stark reminder that we must continue to fight against discrimination and prejudice in all its forms. I often think about how my great grandmother must have felt during those times. She saw the worst of humanity, but she also embodied the best - love, resilience, and a determination to create a better world for her family. Though we've come a long way since 1955, there is still much work to be done to achieve true equality and justice for all. I wish things were different back then, and I'm committed to making a difference now. Let us honor the memory of those who suffered and fought for change by continuing the struggle for a more just and inclusive society. Together, we can create a future where no one has to endure the pain and injustice my great grandmother witnessed. #HistoryMatters #EqualityForAll #CivilRights #EmmettTill #Inspiration #ChangeMakers #NAACP #humanrights
Today marks the 68th anniversary of Emmett Till's brutal lynching while visiting relatives in Mississippi in 1955. Justice, equity, and accountability are issues we will continue to fight for in honor of Emmett and his mother Mamie Till whose sacrifice and fortitude changed the trajectory of this nation.
