Broken HIStories by Angelique Scott
It is difficult, and sometimes dangerous, to be a proud Black-American in the United States. But this has not stopped the Black Community from rallying together and showing their pride everyday. This has not stopped Black Community leaders in leading chants on the streets that their people’s lives matter. This has not stopped Black Parents in instilling hope in their children’s hearts that there is a better future where all people will be treated equally. This has not stopped Black Teachers in equipping their students with the wisdom on how to achieve that better future. Finally, this has not stopped Black Artists around the United States from showing, through their art, pride in their heritage and pride in the amazing things their community is capable of.
