BLACK HISTORY MONTH — THIS IS NOT HISTORY, THIS IS IDENTITY
Today is the first day of Black History Month. But inside ReManned, this isn’t a look backward — it’s a call forward. Black history isn’t just something we study. It’s something we carry, protect, and build. Yes, we honor the familiar names. But there are powerful Black men whose stories rarely get told — and their excellence shaped the world we live in. Men like: Benjamin Banneker — mathematician, astronomer, and self-taught genius who helped plan Washington, D.C. Granville T. Woods — inventor whose work powered modern railroads and communication systems. Lewis Latimer — key innovator behind the light bulb and telephone. Robert Smalls — turned intelligence, courage, and leadership into freedom and political power. Garrett Morgan — created life-saving devices that still protect people today. Mansa Musa- ruler of the Mali Empire and widely regarded as the wealthiest man in recorded history. His leadership wasn’t just about gold; it was about infrastructure, education, and legacy. He built centers of learning, elevated scholarship, and positioned Africa as a global force of intellect, commerce, and culture. These men weren’t just talented. They were thinkers, builders, and leaders — under pressure, without permission, and often without recognition. THE REMANNED PERSPECTIVE Black history isn’t a month. It’s a standard. Every time you: *Lead your household with integrity *Build a business with purpose *Mentor a young man *Strengthen your community *Refuse to shrink your vision You are making Black history in real time. Legacy doesn’t wait for applause. It’s built daily through discipline and decisions. TODAY’S ENGAGEMENT Let’s elevate the room. Drop the name of one great Black man in history most people don’t talk about — and share why his story matters. Or answer this: What part of Black history do you feel called to learn more about this month — leadership, business, invention, community, or faith? FINAL WORD You don’t just inherit Black history.
