During Women’s History Month, the
Black Information Network is elevating the life and work of Black women who’ve pioneered and persevered across industries and generations.
Though the list of women we need to celebrate is vast and long, there are a few hidden figures we want to uplift here.
These Black women worked diligently, some behind the scenes, others at the forefront, making striking impacts on culture, social movements, laws, and more. Some formed groups, relying on the collective power to make change, others stood up where they were to make a change. However the work was done, Black women did it and continue to do it, for themselves and for those to come.
