A 25-year-old woman made history this week after becoming the country’s first Black openly transgender woman elected to a school board.
On Tuesday Alana Banks became one of four new school board members in Decatur, a city in central Illinois, about 180 miles south of Chicago.
Banks ran on policies that include a safe return to the classroom, the creation of a permanent e-learning option, sexual and mental health education, HIV/AIDS awareness, as well as a curriculum that includes LGBTQ, African-American and Latinx history.
