February is Black History Month in the United States and Canada, but Black women deserve to be celebrated, followed, and listened to well beyond February. Though many may make a concerted effort to learn during Black History Month, that effort should be an all the time thing, not just a one month of the year thing. There are so many women that we should all know far more about, so we’ve pulled together a list of 17 Black women that are making change today.

President Donald Trump s critics have accused him of being many things, but subtle is not one of them. So when he mused aloud in August that a coronavirus vaccine could be ready by Nov. 3 Election Day, that is there was alarm in the scientific community. Could it be that the president would force regulators to approve a vaccine on his political timeline, not on the research calendar?
