@Chrissi B Welcome To the Black Mail Black History Learning Lab!

Check out our latest video on the Wednesdays In Mississippi movement that took place during the summers of 1964 and 1965 when a committed coalition of women assembled by civil rights activist Dorothy Height along with Polly Cowan of the National Council of Jewish Women organized groups of women who traveled to Mississippi on a weekly basis to build relationships with Southern women and bring much needed aid and support for civil rights and voting rights. The threat of violence was real, yet they persevered. This story is a Black Mail favorite. We hope you enjoy it. Head over to the Classroom and check it out!

Today marks the 101st birthday of Malcolm X. Often viewed as a controversial and militant figure, Malcolm's identity evolved over time, just like us. His life was marked by racism, trauma, and violence, almost from its inception. His father was murdered when he was just six. His mother's mental health deteriorated under the strain of trying to support her large family. A stellar student, he was crushed when his teacher ridiculed his dream of becoming a lawyer, encouraging him to go into carpentry instead. His views evolved over time. Sadly, his life was snuffed out by an assassin's bullet on February 21, 1965. Check out this 3 min video and let us know what you think. Head on over to the classroom and check out the video

Many people know about the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but Georgia Gilmore was an unsung hero. A talented cook, she sold food and donated the money to support transportation during the boycott, encouraging others to do the same.

Head on over to the classroom tab and Cuervo or my latest video. Inspired by @Paula Artis , I'm teaching myself some new tech. This is my first creation. Needs some work, but it's not too bad from having just learned the process today!
