Black History’s Recommendations 24/7/365

As the current administration proactively attempts to paint Black History Month, NOX and Ashley sat down to share their Black History advice. They provide books, authors and movies for a variety of age ranges and topics in black history and remind the entire celebration and elevation of black history, not just February.

Content Warning: This episode and its recommendations discuss racism, murder and police brutality, especially about Latasha Harlins, Rodney King and Emmett Till, and 1992’s La Riots and Tulsa Race Massacre.
