It seems that in this day and age, discrimination makes the world go around. From unjust slavery to immoral segregation, Black Americans have fought hard to gain an equal foothold in society. No other group of people have been systemically undermined, sabotaged, or kicked down despite all of their major contributions, inventions, and cultural influence on the world. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on Lockheed Martin and how its discrimination has led to multiple lawsuits over time.

For most Black Americans, it’s historically been a struggle to access equitable and quality education. From being denied the ability to read and write during the days of slavery to the more modern white flight phenomenon of hoarding better resources, it’s always been an uphill battle to enrich the minds of a demographic that’s been unjustly discriminated against. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on Ruby Bridges, the brave young girl who helped desegregate schools in Louisiana.

The civil rights movement was a pivotal point in Black history and embodied the struggle that Black Americans have always had to go through just to get ordinary rights and liberties in society. The movement relied on numerous powerful Black leaders to rally the community and organize resistance efforts. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on one of the most well-known civil rights leaders, Martin Luther King Jr., and the legacy he left in fighting for change.
