Description
With intuition, compassion, prowess, or just plain smarts and
determination, the exemplary individuals showcased here have enhanced
the human experience across a wide range of disciplines, including the
arts, education, sports, business, activism, and governance. These
trailblazers’ accomplishments inspire, inform, and enhearten us all. From
Jean Augustine, the first Black woman elected to Canadian parliament—
who, among her many achievements, cemented Canada’s Black History
Month—to Victor H. Green, a postal worker who drew on his experience
and connections to publish “the bible of Black travel” during the Jim Crow
era, the Green Book, these 12 profiles highlight historical figures who have
made valuable contributions to the world. Each month, explore more of
what history has to offer with a photograph and brief biography, a list of
birthdays for other notable names in the Black community, and milestones
in Black history to mark all 365 days of the year.
