What does Black Historical past Month imply for these on the entrance traces of activism and organising?
From the struggles of the civil rights motion to the current day, African Individuals have been pivotal in advocating for justice and equality within the face of systemic racism. All through historical past, they’ve confronted racial inequality, police brutality and the erasure of Black tradition. In celebration of Black Historical past Month, this episode spotlights the work of three Black activists who’re shaping their communities by means of poetry, schooling and grassroots organising. What challenges do they face, and the way are they contributing to the continued wrestle for equality and the resilience of Black communities?
