Black History Month is unique in the sense that we designate this time period to specifically remember the numerous accomplishments and achievements that African-Americans  have made throughout our nation's history. Beginning in 1976, when President Gerald Ford officially recognized the month of February as a time to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans, this month helps to symbolize the country's overall commitment to upholding that special promise. Thus, it is in light of this commitment, that we honor the transformative power of Americans working toward a more racially unified country where all can receive the honor and dignity deserved for their part in building this great nation. At 22 years-of-age, Amanda Gorman appears poised to follow in the footsteps of previous black historical poets, such as Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou, as she recently became the youngest inaugural poet ever to perform at a presidential swearing-in ceremony. Notably, this would not be Gorman's last venture into national prominence, as more recently, Gorman delivered a powerful message of hope and inspiration styled "Chorus of the Captains" as a prelude to Super Bowl LV.
