🖤 BLACK HISTORY MONTH 🖤 ❤️💚
Imagine waking up in a world without Black people. 🛑
No elevators. 🪜
No traffic lights. 🚦
No air conditioning. 🌬️
No pens, no mops, no shoes, no refrigeration. 🖊️
No rhythm. 🎶
No resistance. 🔥
No renaissance. 👑
The blueprint is in our bones. The infrastructure is ours. The culture is ours. The survival is ours.

From Garrett Morgan’s traffic signals to Sarah Boone’s ironing board, from Lewis Latimer’s electric lamp to Jan Matzeliger’s shoe-lasting machine—Black brilliance built the mundane magic of modern life.
So when they say “slavery,” we say invention. When they say “violence,” we say vision. When they say “welfare,” we say world-building.
Black history isn’t a sidebar. It’s the source code.
