Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved people in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Today, it is a time to reflect, remember, celebrate, and honor the resilience of those who came before us.

What does Juneteenth mean to you?

I picked up this book at a used bookstore and never imagined it would lead me to a forgotten piece of history in North Carolina.

While reading *You Need a Schoolhouse* by Stephanie Deutsch, I learned about the Rosenwald School movement, a partnership between Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald that helped build thousands of schools for Black children across the segregated South.

The book led me to Brevard, North Carolina, where I discovered a Rosenwald community, a historical marker, and a story that continues to live on through the memories of those who call it home.

What began with a book became a journey into a community, a conversation, and a history that deserves to be remembered.

Black businesses have always been part of our history.

This weekend, I attended GRINDfest in downtown Asheville, a celebration of Black entrepreneurship, culture, and community.

As someone who spends time researching and sharing history, I couldn't help but think about the connection between the past and the present. The businesses we support today, the communities we build, and the stories we create become part of tomorrow's history.

Black business is Black history.

I was in Brevard, North Carolina, getting content about the Rosenwald School when something unexpected caught my attention.

While driving through downtown, I spotted a mural honoring Moms Mabley.

I had heard of Moms Mabley before, but I had no idea she was born right here in Brevard.

What started as a trip to learn more about the Rosenwald School turned into discovering another important piece of North Carolina history.

Sometimes you go looking for one story and find another along the way.

Can you imagine going to church on a Sunday morning and becoming a target because of the color of your skin?

Today, I'm visiting the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.

More than a place of worship, this church served as a meeting place for activists and community members during the Civil Rights Movement.

On September 15, 1963, members of the Ku Klux Klan planted a bomb near the church basement. The explosion killed four young girls:

▪️ Addie Mae Collins
▪️ Denise McNair
▪️ Carole Robertson
▪️ Cynthia Wesley

Standing here and seeing this place in person is a feeling that's hard to explain.

I enjoy reading about history, researching it, and sharing it. But being here is different.

History feels different when you're where it happened.

We know the case as Brown v. Board of Education.

But who was Brown?

Her name was Linda Brown.

She was a young girl from Topeka, Kansas, whose family challenged school segregation after she was denied access to a nearby white school.

What began as one family's fight for equal educational opportunities became one of the most important civil rights cases in American history.

Because of Brown v. Board of Education, children have greater access to the same schools, resources, and opportunities.

This is Part 3 of our series on Thurgood Marshall, Brown v. Board of Education, and the people behind the case.

Most people know Thurgood Marshall as the first Black Supreme Court Justice.

But before he ever wore the robe, he helped win one of the most important civil rights cases in American history.

Brown v. Board of Education challenged a system that kept Black and white children separated in public schools.

Marshall argued that separate schools were never truly equal.

In 1954, the Supreme Court agreed, helping end legal school segregation and changing the future of education in America.

This is Part 2 of Thurgood Marshall's story.

Part 1 covered his journey to the Supreme Court.

Most people know Thurgood Marshall as the first Black Supreme Court Justice.

But did you know it took both President Kennedy and President Johnson to help pave the way?

In 1961, JFK appointed Marshall to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

In 1965, LBJ appointed him the nation's first Black Solicitor General.

Then in 1967, LBJ nominated Marshall to the United States Supreme Court, where he became the first Black Justice in American history.

But the road to the Supreme Court was only part of the story.

Part 2 drops Wednesday, where we'll explore how Thurgood Marshall helped change America through Brown v. Board of Education.

I've seen photographs of the A.G. Gaston Motel and read about it in books.⁠
⁠
But standing there in person was something completely different.⁠
⁠
During my visit to Birmingham, Alabama, I walked the same sidewalks, stood in the same courtyard, and saw Room 30—often called the "War Room"—where important decisions connected to the Birmingham Campaign were made.⁠
⁠
As I stood there, I also caught a glimpse of the 16th Street Baptist Church, reminding me just how much history happened in this part of Birmingham.⁠
⁠
A special thank you to 'sCoffeeLLC for welcoming visitors into a space connected to this history.⁠
