Black History Month: An Inspirational Reminder to Stay the Course
This Black History Month, I am watching Eyes on the Prize, a series that covers the major events of the civil rights movement. While I have seen the documentary before, I felt moved to revisit it in order to stay focused, motivated, and hopeful amidst the relentless bombardment of alarm, outrage, and chaos cycling through the news. With each episode, I have been profoundly inspired by the thousands of people who made up the movement, and deeply grateful for their efforts and sacrifices that allowed for many of the rights that I have today.
