I was reminded the other day that this is Black History Month. I don’t normally go out of my way to note, let alone celebrate, this. As Ryan Bomberger (who is bi-racial) of the Radiance Foundation recently wrote, “There are so many incredible stories that should be intertwined in an educational fabric that celebrates every […]
