Its message is clear. As black people, we are teachers, passionate learners, and leaders.

He could be counted on to support and show up for any worthy cause. Regardless of how busy he was, he always had time for matters pertaining to social and economic justice, and equality – especially when these issues pertained to African American communities across America.

He came up with the idea of a proclamation recognizing the anniversary of the Black Lives Matter movement after a discussion with his colleagues on racism in government and the importance for specific acknowledgment of the impact of racism on Black Americans for centuries.
