Justice in Motion: The Legacy of Thurgood Marshall

As the chief counsel for the NAACP, Marshall argued 32 cases before the Supreme Court and won 29 of them.

In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him as the first Black Supreme Court Justice, where he served for 24 years. Marshall didn't just interpret the law; he used it as a "shield of freedom" to protect the most vulnerable, ensuring that the promise of equality wasn't just words on paper, but a reality for every American

Legacy in Color: Dr. Carter G. Woodson & Omega Psi Phi

On February 10, 1917, Dr. Carter G. Woodson joined the brotherhood of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., sparking a partnership that would redefine American history.

Today, we bring Dr. Woodson’s story into color—not just to look back, but to remind us that his mission remains the "assignment." We honor a legacy of Black Genius, defiant excellence, and the relentless pursuit of undocumented truths.

In 1995, Dr. Bernard Anthony Harris Jr. made history as the first African American to perform an extravehicular activity (EVA), commonly known as a spacewalk.
