✊🏽Day 2 of Kwanzaa | Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) Kujichagulia calls us to define ourselves, speak for ourselves, and create for ourselves. 📍Today, we’re highlighting Black leaders who didn’t wait for access — they built it: • Violet T. Lewis, founder of Detroit’s only HBCU, who defined higher education on her own terms • Herman J. Russell, who claimed ownership in an industry designed to exclude Black builders • Alonzo Herndon, who created financial security for Black communities through institution-building This week, we’re celebrating Kwanzaa through the lens of HBCUs, Black leadership, and legacy — one principle at a time. Day 2 of 7. Stay with us all week. . . . . #hbcu #historicallyblacksince #kwanzaa #blackexcellence #blackhistory
