CHANGING THE NARRATIVE
This week in Black History:
March 23, 1873 – Abolition of Slavery in Puerto Rico
March 24, 1837 – Voting Rights in Canada: Canada granted African American citizens the right to vote.
March 25, 1965 – Conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery March
March 26, 1872 – Patent by Thomas J. Martin: invention of the fire extinguisher
March 29, 1968 – Memphis Sanitation Strike
Black History can't be confined to a month no more than American History can be confined to 1776
We will continue to celebrate Black history throughout the year and grow the list persons, groups, or events we consider iconic to Black history. This image carousel is the start of that list. Some are obvious and others weren’t. It only further highlights the diversity of a people who others fight so hard to stereotype. Who’s on your list? Contact us and let us know!
