Campus Voice: Centering blackness for 28 days
(02/14/19 12:34am)
Every February, my childhood church, one of the few historically black congregations in my hometown, pulled out bins filled with old photocopied pictures and newspaper clippings of famous black Americans. These precious artifacts would then be hung throughout the fellowship hall. Frederick Douglass, Phillis Wheatley, Harriet Tubman, W.E.B. DuBois, Sojourner Truth, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., and many more pioneering giants.
