Episode 85 Black History Month News You Can Use :)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode introduces listeners to the rich history of ASALH (Association for the Study of African American Life and History), shedding light on its founding vision and the pivotal role it played in the establishment of Black History Month in 1976 a time when the cultural contributions of African Americans were often overlooked.
As we delve into this important retrospective, we also explore the significance of the new Forever Stamps that are now available at USPS, created by Derry Noyes which honor the legacy of remarkable figures in African American history. These stamps celebrate the achievements of individuals such as Harriet Powers, a renowned quilt maker whose work reflects the African American experience; Phyllis Wheatley, the first published African American female poet, whose literary contributions broke barriers in her time; and Muhammad Ali, famously known as "The Greatest," whose influence extended beyond the boxing ring to impact social justice and equality. This rich blend of historical insight and contemporary recognition serves to inspire listeners and foster a deeper appreciation for the contributions of African Americans to the nation’s narrative.
