Happy Sercey Day!🎁

On this day, April 19th, we celebrate the life of Mary E. Sercey 💝

A "Sercey," in all of its various spellings is a thoughtful, unexpected gift. It isn't generally expensive, but is a simple gift that represents the act and kindness of giving to others.

In honor of all that is good in the world, remember to be kind.

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"Kamala D. Harris is the Vice President of the United States of America. She was elected Vice President after a lifetime of public service, having been elected District Attorney of San Francisco, California Attorney General, and United States Senator.

As Vice President, Kamala Harris has worked in partnership with President Joe Biden to get America vaccinated, rebuild our economy, reduce child poverty, and pass an infrastructure law that will lift up communities that have been left behind. She has led the Administration’s efforts in rallying broad coalitions to protect the freedom to vote, expand workers’ rights to organize and collectively bargain, and stand up for women’s rights — supporting women in our workforce, addressing the maternal health crisis, and defending reproductive rights. The Vice President has also played a key role in engaging world leaders and strengthening our nation’s alliances and partnerships. In everything she does, she remains focused on the people of our nation—and our collective future."

In honor of Black History Month, we proudly celebrate our nation's first African American and female Vice President!

Our Nation Must Fully Address Our History of Racial Terror

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"Our nation must fully address our history of racial terror and the legacy of racial inequality it has created... There is an urgent need to challenge the absence of recognition in the public space on the subject of lynching. Only when we concretize the experience through discourse, memorials, monuments, and other acts of reconciliation can we overcome the shadows cast by these grievous events."
