As we celebrate Black History Month, I wanted to pause and bask in the achievements, resilience, and brilliance of our ancestors. Their legacy is not just history—it is instruction.
Recently, many have shared reactions to a racist post from #47 depicting the Obamas as apes. I won’t pretend to be surprised. That kind of imagery has a long, ugly history in this country—one meant to dehumanize, distract, and diminish.
As a Christian, Scripture calls me to pray for our leaders—and I do. Prayer matters. God has the final say. But prayer does not replace accountability.
This is exactly why voting matters.
- Why paying attention matters.
- Why who we choose to lead matters.
There’s an old saying: Never argue with fools—people watching may not know who’s who. Sometimes wisdom means refusing the bait, trusting God’s sovereignty, and choosing action instead.
- Honor the past.
- Protect the future.
- Show up. Vote.
