I will be shedding light on important moments and black people's contributions throughout February. This will be focused on Black History in the United States, but I will try to include Afro-diasporic history. So many stories, moments, and people go unheard of yet were integral to where we are today. I encourage y'all to look into these moments, those I did not mention, and the contributions of Black people today.

Black History now, Black History tomorrow, Black History Forever!

(Disclaimer: This is a joke, if you don't get it, look into Black History.)
