... Read moreThe Kent State shootings, which took place on May 4, 1970, during a protest against the Vietnam War, are a poignant chapter in American history. This tragic event led to the death of four students and left several others injured. In remembering Kent State, it's crucial to recognize the broader context of the anti-war movement and the societal changes that followed. The university has since become a symbol for student activism and the fight for civil rights. Commemorative events are held annually, serving as a reminder of the fragility of democracy and the importance of free speech. The legacy of Kent State continues to inspire discussions on the consequences of political dissent and the necessity for dialogue in times of conflict. Remembering the students who lost their lives that day helps ensure that such a tragedy is not forgotten, and their stories remain integral to discussions on social justice and political change. Through educational programs, memorials, and art installations, Kent State University honors the memory of the victims while fostering a spirit of inquiry and activism among students today. Knowing the truths of the past is essential in shaping a more informed and engaged citizenry that values peace and respect for differing viewpoints.

Be magnetic to be remembered
Things that matter more than how you look: • Your mental health • Your happiness • The way you treat others Real beauty starts in your energy. When you care for yourself on the inside, it naturally shows on the outside. Save this as your reminder to focus on what truly makes you magnetic.

A split image featuring a Black woman. The main image is a headshot, while a smaller inset shows her in a light blue uniform, appearing distressed and wiping her eye. Text overlay states: 'BLACK MOM WHO GAVE HER BABY COW MILK DENIED PAROLE AFTER 18 YEARS IN PRISON'.
I remembered
She ran out of baby formula… during Hurricane Katrina. So this mom in New Orleans did what she thought would keep her baby alive… She gave him cow’s milk. Her baby tragically passed. In 2008… she was sentenced to LIFE. 18 years later—parole DENIED. Her other children grew up in foster care.

👑 She Remembered Who She Was & Changed the Game
The goal was never attention. The goal was freedom. Freedom to create the life I want. Freedom to make my own decisions. Freedom to wake up knowing I’m building something bigger than myself. Every late night, every sacrifice, every time I chose discipline over excuses—it all adds up.
