Your words, insights, presence, and personality changed my students’ lives! Many could relate to your journey, and all left the classroom inspired. You faced the challenge of removing the monuments and rewriting history with courage but haven’t stopped there. We appreciate your time and sacrifice and the impact you continue to make in our community. Thank you for sharing your story!

Devon Henry, I cannot express how grateful we are for your willingness to join us for the 2023 Black Philanthropy Celebration. The conversation was riveting, authentic, and entertaining. Many people may have heard about you because of your courageous work with the monuments but we know there’s more to you than that. You are a successful entrepreneur, HBCU supporter, family man, and devoted community leader. This year was by far the best experience. You've set the bar high for next year!

Following the tragic death of George Floyd, I traveled to Richmond, VA, to join the hundreds in protest near the Robert E. Lee statue to witness the historical moment of the dismantling of this statue. When I learned that the person responsible for this historic moment was a Black man and a fellow fraternity brother, I felt immensely proud and fearful for my brother. The courage actualized by Devon Henry is akin to the courage of Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and James Chaney, who are civil rights martyrs. Bringing Devon into the conversation with our first-year book programming was a natural connection. Having Mr. Henry at our institution was a phenomenal experience. He was able to comprehensively examine the complex issues surrounding public monuments by offering first-hand experience and insights into this historical, cultural, and political topic.
