I ran up to NYC for a quick day trip last week to do a Black History Month presentation at a law firm but not before stopping by the Dominicans. 🥰

Happy ! 🖤💚❤️💛 To celebrate, I shared facts about the Reconstruction Era, which is the period right after the Civil War when 4.4 million Black people were emancipated from slavery and became U.S. citizens for the first time.

We made it to the last day of BHM. How many of these 28 facts did you know?

0-9 Gotta start somewhere 📚
10-20 Respect! ✊🏽
21-27 Are you an African American history professor? 🤓
28 You must’ve read Black Was the Ink! 😜

If you learned something new, help spread the word. Knowledge is power. 💪🏽
