Leroy Hamilton, known by many as PhotoHam, is a name that resonates deeply within the artistic community of South Central Los Angeles.

Hamilton’s upcoming exhibit, The Story of Us, is a series of select images that will be displayed at the Henry P. Rio Bridge Gallery at LA City Hall in honor of Black History Month starting February 18th.

Black History Month remains an important time to reflect on the deep contributions, struggles, and resilience of Black individuals throughout history. Even in a climate where anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) sentiment seems to be gaining traction in some sectors, it’s more crucial than ever to uphold the spirit of recognizing Black voices and achievements, as well as the ongoing fight for equality.

As we face pushback against initiatives aimed at creating more inclusive spaces, it's vital to continue asking: How can we work toward a society that reflects the diverse perspectives and contributions that have shaped our country? To ignore this is to overlook the experiences of millions, and ultimately, to miss out on the richness that diversity brings.

This month can be a moment to not only honor Black history but to also commit ourselves to a future where every person’s dignity and humanity is recognized—regardless of their background. What are the stories that we can uplift today, and how can we keep the conversation going year-round?
