Thursday, after the round table discussion with Black leaders, President Trump, joined by First Lady Melania Trump, spoke at a jam packed White House reception honoring African American History Month. The celebration this year coincides with the 150th anniversary of the 15th Amendment.

POTUS noted that throughout America’s journey, African Americans have enhanced—and advanced—every aspect of American life. “Their fight for equality, representation, and respect motivates us to continue working for a more promising, peaceful, and hopeful future for every American,” notes President Trump in his 2020 National African American History Month Proclamation.

“Set this year apart as holy, a time to proclaim freedom throughout the land for all who live there. It will be a jubilee year for you, when each of you may return to the land that belonged to your ancestors and return to your own clan.” – Leviticus 25:10 NLT

As one who was boots on the ground along with my goddaughter Angela Stanton-King and mentor Bruce LeVell, I am honored to have had the opportunity during Black History Month, to pray with our President, to hear his heart for the success of America, and to encourage and celebrate all the “promises made and promises kept” by President Donald John Trump.
