If you read my columns in the Carillon Notes, then you know that I’m embarking on a personal project during Black History Month. I’m trying to add Black (or predominantly Black) media to my usual media diet.
Admittedly, I wasn’t as active in my search for media this week as I was last week. Sometimes, life gets in the way, and even good projects get pushed to the side. That said, I do want to highlight a few items that I’ve come across in the last couple of weeks that I think are good:
- Black History Month Includes Black Queer History, Too (Article from Out Magazine)
- Symbolism and Cynicism: On Being a Writer During Black History Month (Article from Believer Magazine)
- Jazmine Headley, Whose Child Was Snatched From Her Arms at a Public Benefits Office, Gets a Public Apology From New York City Council (Article from the Root)
- ‘What happens in this house stays in this house’: Black women sound the alarm about domestic violence in the African American community (Article from Mississippi Today)
- The Real Cost of Being the POC ‘In the Room’ Required to Shut Down Obviously Racist Products (Article from ColorLines)
- Black and White: Racism in America (Episode of The Liturgists podcast)
- Monumental Lies (Episode of Reveal podcast)
Enjoy!
