Today marks the beginning of Black History Month!! ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐พThe 2023 Theme for BHM is โBlack Resistance.โ โ๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐ช๐พโAs societal and political forces escalate to limit access to and exercise of the ballot, eliminate the teaching of Black history, and work to push us back into the 1890s, we can only rely on our capacity to resist. This is a call to everyone, inside and outside the academy, to study the history of Black Americansโ responses to establish safe spaces, where Black life can be sustained, fortified, and respected.โโ ASALH (Association for the Study of African American Life & History)โBy resisting, African Americans continue to mobilize resources and shape social movements to create a space for Black Americans to thrive. We invite everyone to join us in exploring the histories of Black freedom movementsโfrom slavery and abolition to other ongoing struggles for civil and human rights.โโ NMAAHC (National Museum of African American History & Culture)As you consider this yearโs theme of Black Resistance, start by checking out the programming, learning materials, and virtual opportunities from these organizations. ๐๐พ๐๐ฝ๐ asalh.org/black-history-themes/๐ nmaahc.si.edu/explore/initiatives/black-history-month-2023#blackhistorymonth2023 #BHM #resistance #blackresistance #blackjoy #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMatters #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory #blackhistory365 #manyhues #OneHumanity ...

It was a kind of hurt that was unexpected, and one that I wasnโt sure Iโd recover from.โYou may want to grab your tissue box ๐ข because we can all heal more by soaking in his story. ๐ค Read Anthonyโs full story on our blog at: ๐๐พ๐๐ผ๐ brownicity.com/blog/hard-truths-heal/.#racialhealing #mixedrace #HowWeHeal #healingjourney #hardtruthsheal #identity #belonging #acceptance #manyhues #OneHumanity ...
