Black minds are brilliant. From our ancestors to today, we continue to inspire and innovate, produce and protect, gain and galvanize.

This Black History Month, we honor and elevate all the ways Black Brilliance shows up to illuminate the world. We honor and elevate the mental dexterity it takes to produce the rhymes, the paintings, the inventions, and the styles that Black people have gifted to the world.

Shine on.
