During #DSTConvention2025 I met my Soror and civil rights activist Joan Trumpauer Mulholland. She is a Freedom Rider and participated in more than 50 sit-ins and demonstrations during the Civil Rights Movement.
I told her, “Thank you for everything you did.” She responded, “I did it for all of us.”

And Happy #BlackHistoryMonth to my mother, Ethelene Duster, who became Florence, AL’s 1st Black deputy director of the Lauderdale County Emergency Management Agency in 1984. Here is a photo of her by the NWS with other EMA Directors on January 30, 2003 at the Weather Field Office in Huntsville, AL.

Happy Birthday and Happy Black History Month to my dad, Joe Duster! He became Florence, Alabama's first Black firefighter on September 21, 1981. And my dad broke more ceilings: He was also the city’s first Black lieutenant fire inspector and first Black fire truck engineer. ❤️ #BlackHistoryMonth
