-Today’s Black History Moment highlights Erin Jackson. On February 13, 2022, at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Erin Jackson made history by becoming the first Black woman to win an Olympic gold medal in speed skating. She won gold in the 500-meter race, representing Team USA with strength, focus, and determination. What makes her story even more
inspiring is that Erin didn’t grow up ice skating. She started as a roller
skater in Florida and didn’t begin ice speed skating until 2016—just a few
years before becoming an Olympic champion! Her journey shows that it’s
never too late to try something new and chase your dreams. Erin Jackson’s success reminds us that hard work, courage, and perseverance can break barriers and create history. Let’s celebrate excellence, resilience, and the power of believing in yourself!

-Today in Black History, we celebrate Surya Bonaly, a world-famous figure
skater who made history with her power, strength, and courage. Born in
France, Surya won multiple European titles and competed in three Winter
Olympics. Surya is especially known for landing a backflip on one blade
during the 1998 Olympics — something no other Olympic figure skater had ever done! Even when judges didn’t always reward her bold style, she stayed confident and true to herself.
Surya Bonaly teaches us to be fearless, work hard, and stand out proudly for who we are. Let’s start our day with that same confidence and determination!
