In honor of Black History Month, we will journey through time and learn about 20 inspiring African Americans who made an impact, and their contributions to our world today. Long before Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks etched their names into American History, there were so many unknown or forgotten individuals who helped make significant contributions to society. From Inventors, to educators, activists, and poets it’s so important to make sure diverse contributions are always part of our conversations about history. The best part? We can all learn and share about these contributions everyday-not just in February. To learn about each of their contributions click the images below.
