You may think you know a lot about Black History. But, you’ll be surprised to learn some hidden history or herstory left out of most of our textbooks. For that reason, we’ve put together a monthly compilation of articles that will educate and entertain.

Without further ado, enjoy this month’s selection.

As with every case in history involving the Black community rising up to defend itself, this was no different and was quickly labeled a “riot.” The blame was immediately placed on the Black soldiers for being insolent and disobedient for not respecting Jim Crow laws. — Arturo Dominguez

No matter what anyone tells you, just about everything in America has a bit of racist history just below the surface. The funeral business is no exception. — Marlon Weems.
