This month learn and celebrate the plethora of achievements and contributions Black Americans have brought to our country. This year's theme is "Black Health and Wellness" According to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), this theme refers to "the legacy of not only Black scholars and medical practitioners in western medicine, but also other ways of knowing throughout the African Diaspora.
We start by honoring STEM Heros in this year's theme, Patricia Bath, and Marine Maynard Daly.
Two African American women who have pioneered and overcame the dual hurdles of racial and gender bias in the work field. We thank these women and their accomplishments in the name of science. May their name continue to be remembered throughout American History.
Support Black-owned businesses, Donate to charities working towards equity, and continuously educate yourselves.
