In today’s Race + Power newsletter, we kick off Black History Month by focusing on stories that celebrate Black culture and success. First, in her recently released book, Mind, Body, & Soul: A Self-Care Coloring Book for Black Women, Oludara Adeeyo seeks to give Black women tools to affirm and care for themselves. Next, a conversation with Anasa Troutman, the executive director of Historic Clayborn Temple in Memphis, TN—home to many cultural innovations from the minds of Black folks and the Black imagination. Then, the story of a community group that was tired of disenfranchisement and gentrification, and came together in the spirit of Black power. Finally, we revisit what it means to be pro-Black.
