R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Find Out What It Means

Respect, what does it really mean? We know it is as necessary for intimate and family relationships as it is for relationships among friends, classmates and colleagues. But how does it actually show up in our relationships?

In an August 22, 2026 press conference after a preseason game, Shedeur Sanders—a fan favorite who is competing with Deshaun Watson for the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback position—was asked by a reporter how he felt about the Browns fans booing Watson. Without hesitation, Sanders responded that he did not appreciate their behavior. For him, it was about understanding the larger purpose. He put it this way…

Nona Ogunsula: Today, August 28, marks the 63rd anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders and organizations, including A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin, Dorothy Height, the NAACP, National Urban League, and SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee).

They marched in Washington, DC, to call America to live up to the freedom and equality promised in its founding principles and embodied in the Reconstruction Amendments—the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments—and to challenge the unequal treatment of American citizens based on the color of their skin.

Change does not just happen. People make change happen.

People united behind just causes—ending slavery, securing citizenship and equal protection under the law, and protecting the right to vote from discriminatory barriers, including practices that dilute minority voting strength through redistricting—helped move America closer to fulfilling its founding promises.

In the words of John Lewis, we have come a great distance, but we still have a ways to go.

Since 1870, fourteen African Americans have served in the United States Senate. Their service is part of the continuing story made possible by Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement. Their story is now our story to continue. What are we saying in these chapters?

As we celebrate our progress and remember those who fought for first-class citizenship for all Americans, we recommit ourselves to building a just society free from racism, discrimination, and unequal treatment. It is important that the history of how we arrived at this moment never be forgotten.

Learn the history. Honor the service. Never forget.
