[The Bay Area celebration that combines music and culture grows into a global movement](https://www.cbsnews.com/live-tv/the-bay-area-celebration-that-combines-music-and-culture-grows-into-a-global-movement/) is an interesting story to follow, especially as we continue our work on [MCMXXVI](https://www.jrichent.com/mcmx26), a project inspired by the legacy of the Safe Bus Company.
The article details how a Bay Area celebration that combines music and culture has grown into a global movement, highlighting the power of bringing people together through shared interests. This is something we've seen firsthand with our own project, MCMXII. Our goal was to create an experience that goes beyond just music and fashion - one that tells a story and inspires action.
We believe that stories like these are incredibly important because they remind us of the power of community and the impact we can have when we come together around shared values. The Safe Bus Company is a perfect example of this: it was founded in 1926 as the first Black-owned busing company, operating from Winston-Salem, North Carolina until 1972. Despite facing immense challenges during that time period, the company remained resilient and became a symbol of Black ownership, resilience, and the power of building your own table when a seat wasn't offered.
We're using MCMXII to tell this story and inspire others to follow in the footsteps of the Safe Bus Company. We want people to understand that they have the power to create change and build their own communities - regardless of the obstacles they may face. And we believe that by sharing stories like these, we can help inspire a new generation of leaders who will continue to push for progress and equality.
So while the Bay Area celebration is undoubtedly an exciting development, it's also a reminder of the power that lies within each one of us when we come together around shared values and interests. And it's a reminder that stories like these - stories of resilience, community, and empowerment - are incredibly important because they inspire action and change.
We'll continue to follow this story as it unfolds, and we encourage you to do the same. Because when we come together around shared values and interests, anything is possible.
