This past Tuesday, we had the honor of welcoming Bahiyyah Abdullah, a dedicated community activist and president of the NAACP’s Toms River branch.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a leading civil rights organization committed to ensuring equal rights and opportunities for African Americans. In recognition of Black History Month, Bahiyyah shared powerful historical insights and an inspiring story about a young boy named Theo. One morning, Theo asked his mother, *“Mom, what if there were no Black people in the world?”*
The story that followed was truly eye-opening, offering a deeper understanding of the profound contributions of Black individuals throughout history. We encourage you to read it—it’s a perspective worth reflecting on.
