Nurses can celebrate, reflect, take action, and speak up for diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare. We can learn and share about the contributions of contemporary black leaders like Black nursing pioneers like Mary Eliza Mahoney who was the first Black registered nurse in the U.S. Harriet Tubman who provided care as a nurse during the Civil War, and Susie King Taylor, the first Black Army nurse In addition, we can recognize contemporary black leaders like Dr. Susan Moscou, Dr. Ketty, Floyd, Dr. Dawn Africa, and Dr. Gloria Watson who continue to contribute and bring about changes as the nursing profession evolves. Dr. Smith encourages the new nurses to be empathetic as they render culturally congruent care to all patients. Nurses should honor the legacy of the trailblazers as they also pay it forward in honoring their stories.
