Black History Month: Reflection, Reality, and the Road Ahead

President Donald Trump shared a video that includes a racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle. This post has since been deleted. As February marks Black History Month,  Jeanetta Williams, president of the Salt Lake NAACP Branch, shares her perspective on this recent post and what it means for the larger conversation about racism in America. Williams also speaks to why honoring Black history matters, what the past teaches us, and how discrimination continues to show up today.
