We recently celebrated the installation of a 12-foot segment of the Berlin Wall at @UMassAmherst. Donated to the university by the Hanson family, this wall section was painted by famed French artist @NoirThierry & titled "The Power of Creativity over Concrete." #UMass

Howard University established the first nursing school in a university setting in 1893. This happened 16 years before any other university. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackNursingHistory

Mary Eliza Mahoney, the 1st Black woman to study & work as a professionally trained nurse in the US, graduated in 1879. She attended New England Hospital for Women & Children in Boston. She proved that Black people can be nurses with excellence, compassion, and efficiency. #BHM

As many states and school boards seek to ban and limit difficult discussions of our nation's past, it is critical that we as a free society find ways to read together, think together, and build together. That is why I am proud to announce the #1619Project National Read Along.
