In this week's episode, we wanted to shed light on the over-shadowed, yet still extremely important historical figures for Black History Month. We will be discussing the events and people that led up to the creation of The Black Panther movement, a doctor that developed a surgical procedure still used in pediatrics today, and the man who coordinated Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.'s marches. We are fully aware that we may be just two melanin-ly challenged slices of Wonder Bread, but that won't stop us from supporting marginalized communities and spreading the word on these important pieces of history.

Thank you so much for listening! We want to invite you to come and be Typically Divergent with us via social media and communicate with us directly through our LinkTree below.
