It’s the end of Black History Month. Hope you got to read about black authors/movies/musicians. The culture is very important, especially after the Capitol insurrection. We need to tell these White Nationalists that we won’t let them intimidate minorities.

There’s a great black politician named Nina Turner, I suggest you read up on her. She is fighting for many rights, including #FightFor15. She will join AOC in 2024 and completely transform our nation.

Until next time!
