Where do you source your news from? Whose voices are represented? And… who is left out?
Today, let’s give some thought to Thomas Fortune, who made it his mission to ensure Black voices were represented in journalism.

Black History : Thomas Fortune didn’t just report history, he organized it.
The first nationally syndicated Black journalist built a national Black political voice in the 1800s.

Read it all please.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

#BlackHistoryMonth is about reflection and working for positive change, but it's also about #celebration of people and culture. Which is why we're excited to introduce you to @iranzye.bsky.social How fantastic is this art?!?!

They call us people of color, so why not embrace it? It is here to stay, and that is why I created the Eumelanin collection to celebrate the beauty of Black culture.
From now on, every painting of mine will feature these characters. More in February. Eumelanin: The Intro.
Iranzye
OUT..✌🏼🤘🏼

Week 1 - Black History Month 2026
1. You may have seen this image of Black men voting during Reconstruction, and assumed it is a depiction of voting after the passage of the 15th Amendment (which outlaws denying the right to vote based on race).

Did you set any New Year's resolutions?
We're not a big fan of culturally prescribed resolution setting around here, but we DO like the idea of reflection... & of hope. Sometimes, "hope" gets a bad rap. It's viewed as weak, lacking substance. That's not how we view it though.
