<\/a>Women & Non-Binary Identities<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\nBy Shades of Noir (@shadesofnoir_<\/a>)<\/p>\nHow are women and non-binary folk portrayed in black history? Is this representation fair? What does this mean to the mediatization of black history month? Black History month is celebrated across the nation. However, it seems to mainly focus on the historical achievements of male activists. \u201cThe most unprivileged person in America is the Black woman\u201d. Black women and Non-binary folk are thriving and surviving everyday, but their achievements are not celebrated enough. Yes, civil rights may exist, but black lives are taken everyday due to the existence of anti-blackness. Even in movements like #BlackLivesMatter there seems to be a lack of media attention towards women (including trans women) and the non-binary folks\u2019 struggle. Today we want to celebrate women and non-binary identities in black history and remember the diverse activism that paved the way for today\u2019s generation. We shall hear from influential people who are trailblazing a path for the next generation.<\/p>\n
