This morning, I had the profound honor of attending an MLK Day breakfast where Lynda Blackmon Lowery delivered the keynote address. As the youngest person to march from Selma to Montgomery during the historic Civil Rights Movement, her legacy of activism speaks for itself. Yet, her story that gripped me the most wasn’t just about her role in our nation’s fight for civil rights—it was about her mother and the tragic loss she experienced as a child, a loss that reflects the deep disparities we still see in maternal healthcare today.
