This Black History Month, we’ll be paying homage to historical Black women icons in addition to lifting up the legends living among us. Black history isn’t something that has happened: it’s happening every day, all around us, by Black authors, artists, and movement leaders. Black women have been integral for progress in policy, justice, and in joy—all of which deserve to be celebrated and honored.
