In the September Accessibility Standards & Compliance meeting, the committee welcomed Martin and Davi as new members. The group shared updates on accessibility testing and fixes for Thunderbird Desktop, including Firefox testing, axe-core checks, and integrating Firefox's tools that make use of Thunderbird’s accessibility checklist. The committee also talked about accessibility annotations for designers, with a focus on only adding when something is new, important, or different. The meeting also included a screen reader demo from Martin, updates on joining the W3C ARIA working group, and a short discussion about future testing work with Firefox.

On the island of Hispaniola, people who escaped from slavery used international politics (Spain vs. France) to start a free community of their own in the mountains, which lasted for generations. This story from the colonial era shows us hints of the future Dominican Republic and Haiti.

You might want to watch Episode 01 before this one. And the next episode (03) will wrap up the topic of palenques by comparing Yanga and Le Maniel to each other, and both to the slavery situation in the United States.
