History is made everyday here in Michigan and across the United States by a wide variety of folks. February is a month dedicated to learning about the history made by African American and Black people in this state and country.
Please join me in taking some time this month, and all year, to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions made to both American & Michigan history by reading and sharing their stories.
Check out the New York Public Library's "Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List" to find a story to start reading today: https://www.nypl.org/books-more/recommendations/schomburg/adults
