This Black History Month, I am reflecting on how we can continue to uplift and amplify Black voices, achievements, and communities year-round.

As the first Black woman to represent Alabama in Congress, I owe a great deal to the trailblazers, visionaries, activists, and Civil Rights leaders who paved the path before me.

I’m a 3rd-generation Selmian, so I know firsthand that Black history is Alabama’s history — a history I want to honor and preserve.

That’s why I’m proud to be the lead sponsor of the Rosa Parks Day Act, a bill to designate December 1st as a federal holiday in her honor.

We must urge Congress to pass this overdue recognition of one of our country’s most brave activists. So I’m personally asking: Will you sign on to become a Citizen Co-Sponsor of the Rosa Parks Day Act? [[link removed]]

On December 1, 1955, Alabama native Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat – taking a bold stand against Montgomery’s segregated bus system.

Her courageous actions sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycotts and changed the trajectory of our nation’s history.

This bill will ensure that her sacrifice is forever celebrated and cemented in American History, and I’m asking for your support in urging Congress to pass it. Can I count on you to add your name as a Citizen Co-Sponsor of the Rosa Parks Day Act? [[link removed]]
