E.68- Learning About Black History Month
“Won’t it be wonderful when black history and Native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history.” – Maya Angelou
Welcome back to Dive Right In with Jackie and Hannah! This week, we talk about what it means to be good allies to the Black Community especially during Black History Month. We aren’t black and don’t identify as People of Color; however, we were unable to line up an interview for this week's episode yet still believe it’s valuable to uplift stories that have often gone unnoticed and unheard of inspiring Black people who have touched our lives. After sharing the stories of Margaret Collins, Tishaura Jones, Zalia Avant-Garde, and many more, we talk about the theme for this years' Black History Month: Black Health and Wellness. At the end of the episode, we call on our white friends to strengthen their allyship and remind our listeners that we are all still learning. Through reading, listening, and reflecting, we can create a more just world.
Love,
Jackie and Hannah
