Did you know that the practice of yoga and meditation dates back several thousand years? It's depiction can be seen in the ancient hieroglyphic writings in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and many believe this is where the sacred practice originated.

Black to the Land: Perils and Triumphs with Dr. Pancho McFarland.
Today we celebrate the 100th birthday of Harold Lee Washington, Chicago’s first Black mayor. A pivotal figure in Chicago’s political landscape and history, Harold left an undeniable imprint on the city and its people. A champion for all, his progressive agenda to unite many minority communities under his campaign slogan “Let’s come together for one city,” matched with
his pride in Black people created a culture shift for Black politics, not only in Chicago, but the entire nation. As you celebrate his birthday and legacy today and beyond, we encourage you to come out and visit our Harold Washington Story exhibit to learn more about this hero! #HaroldWashington #HappyBirthdayHaroldWashington

To Sir, With Love:
Sir Sidney L. Poitier
February 20, 1927 – January 6, 2022
Bahamian-American actor, film director, activist, and ambassador. In 1964, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, becoming the first Black male and Bahamian actor to win the award. He received two further Academy Award nominations, ten Golden Globes nominations, two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, six BAFTA nominations, eight Laurel nominations, and one Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination. Poitier was one of the last surviving major stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema, and after the death of Kirk Douglas in 2020, was the oldest living and earliest surviving male Academy Award winner until his own death in 2022. From 1997 to 2007, Poitier served as Bahamian Ambassador to Japan.
“We shall overcome; keep on keeping on!”
