Celebrate Black History Month through learning and listening:
So, how do we listen to Black History month? In all the ways above—and I would love to hear more—and, I thought, through this list. It's 31 black women, mostly activists, that are an important part of history, and who you should know, and who you (and all of us) should listen to. You might know some of them but you probably don't know all of them. I'm not linking their names, you can google them. Read more than the Wikipedia page, if they even have one. Do one a day for the month. It will take 10 minutes, and that's 10 minutes you aren't scrolling through the news and panicking, so it's double plus good.
