  • Henry Ossian Flipper defied the odds and made history. Born into slavery in Thomasville, Georgia, in 1856, he pursued education with an unshakable determination. From humble beginnings in a woodshop to studying at missionary schools and Atlanta University, his ultimate dream was to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. No African American had ever graduated from West Point, but that did not stop him. Writing to Congressman James C. Freeman, he sought an appointment—and he got it. Among five African American cadets who entered, Henry was the only one to graduate. In 1877, he became the first African American to graduate from West Point and the first Black man commissioned in the United States Army.

  • March 21, 1965, marked a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights. Led by Martin Luther King, Jr., 3,200 brave demonstrators set out on a historic 54-mile journey from Selma to Montgomery, demanding justice and the right to vote. Just weeks after the violence of "Bloody Sunday," this march became a powerful symbol of perseverance, growing to 25,000 strong by its final day. Through rain, exhaustion, and resistance, their voices carried a message that still echoes today: equality cannot wait. #SelmaToMontgomery #CivilRights #MLK #VotingRights #HistoryMatters #OnThisDay
