Today is the 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth ✊🏿❤🖤💚✊🏿 February 1st is the birthday of noted author and poet, Langston Hughes, and also on February 1st, 1960, four freshmen from North Carolina Agricultural and Technological College who became known The Greensboro Four of David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell A. Blair, Jr., and Joseph McNeil The Greensboro sit-ins were a series of nonviolent protests in February to July 1960, primarily in the Woolworth store—now the International Civil Rights Center and Museum—in Greensboro, North Carolina, which led to the F. W. Woolworth Company department store chain removing its policy of racial segregation in the Southern United States. While this was not the first sit-in of the civil rights movement, the Greensboro sit-ins were an instrumental action, and also the best-known sit-ins of the civil rights movement. These sit-ins are considered a catalyst to the subsequent sit-in movement, in which 70,000 people participated. This sit-in was a contributing factor in the formation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). #BlackHistoryMonth✊🏾❤🖤💚✊🏾 #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory✊🏾🇺🇸 📚 #BlackHistoryIsWorldHistory✊🏾📚🌐 (at International Civil Rights Center & Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKxxv1QsVn1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy CRT month 🤣 #sorrynotsorry Black history is important. Now more than ever, history needs to be examined with a truth lens. If we don't take a look at what went wrong, how are we ever going to learn from those mistakes? #blackhistorymatters #blackisbeautiful #itsapartofme❤️ #educateyourself #blackhistoryisamericanhistory✊🏾🇺🇸 #2022 # https://www.instagram.com/p/CZczoiXu5Knfo5FAWp1116np4b2Nc21He0IO580/?utm_medium=tumblr
