Black history month gives us the space to recognize figures from around the world who have made an impact on the global Black community.
The contributions of these figures, and so many others, worked to end oppressive systems, break barriers, and bring to light the challenges faced by Black people everywhere.
They’ve protested, led, marched, fought, broke barriers, and should be celebrated for their sacrifice and the impact they made along the way. The legacy some have left behind has guided the paths of many leaders for generations and some are making their mark on history right now.
