Your Reckoning with Racism team will be including brief notes in each weekly newsletter this month to highlight Black History. We begin with an opportunity to learn, explore, and follow your curiosity wherever it may take you. The theme for 2025 is African Americans and Labor, focusing on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds–free and unfree–has shaped history from 1619 to the present.

The organization 28 Days of Black History highlights incredible organizers, activists, entrepreneurs and influencers who have shaped Black liberation. Each day’s offering includes biographical and historical information, reflection questions, and links to additional resources so you can take a deeper dive. You can catch up with each day’s highlighted historical figure and subscribe to the daily emails going forward here.
