Yesterday marked the start of Black History Month and here at WisDems, we're celebrating Black Wisconsin leaders and trailblazers all month long on our Twitter and Facebook accounts. Be sure to follow us on both platforms so you don’t miss out on the celebration!
From contemporary leaders, such as Felesia Martin (the Vice Chair here at WisDems), Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes (the first Black Lt. Governor in our state’s history!) and Congresswoman Gwen Moore (whose story of rising up from a working family in Racine to becoming a leader in Milwaukee is still an inspiration to us), to leaders further back in the history books -- these are stories we need to center as we continue our work to combat systemic racism in our state and across the country.
First though, we want to know how YOU are commemorating Black History Month this year: Click here to let us know how you're commemorating Black History Month on Twitter.Click here to let us know how you're commemorating Black History Month on Facebook.
Thanks,
All of us at WisDems
