Closing Out Black History Month Strong in Sandy Springs

Some events take months to organize. Others come together in a matter of days.

This was one of those moments.

When the call went out to gather, learn, and reflect, the community responded. Residents from across Sandy Springs came together at Rivercliff Lutheran Church to close out Black History Month with an evening focused on history, truth, and connection.

I’m grateful to everyone who attended, participated, and helped make the event possible. I’m especially thankful to the leadership of Rivercliff Lutheran Church for opening their doors and partnering with us to create a space where meaningful conversations could take place.

Black History Month is about more than looking back. It is an opportunity to understand the sacrifices, struggles, and achievements that helped shape our community and our country. It is also a reminder that each generation has a responsibility to continue moving forward.

As I shared during the event, the best way to honor our ancestors is to build a future worthy of their sacrifice.

Thank you to everyone who helped us close out Black History Month strong in Sandy Springs.
