Celebrating Black History Month
|
|
Black History Month is a time to recognize the extraordinary contributions of African Americans throughout our nation’s history. As we remember the past, we also honor the persistence, determination, and commitment of today’s Black leaders who champion justice and equality in their communities. Here is a roundup of recent CLASP blog posts and publications:
- 5 Things Black Workers Need to Know About BBB
- How Abolishing Critical Race Theory Preserves White Power
- Decriminalization: The Hidden Truth of Black Girls
Look for more BHM content over the rest of February!
