Happy first day of #BlackHistoryMonth! Many of you may have noticed I’ve been off air the past few weeks. That’s because my colleague, Intisar Faulkner and I have been working on a Black History Month special where we go in depth about little known stories that birthed the most prominent moments in the Civil Rights Movement. Those moments and even the Civil Rights Movement are often credited to starting in other Southern states like Alabama or Mississippi, but what’s left out the history books, is that…. it started here, in South Carolina. Watch our hour long special 7pm on February 15th on WIS and anywhere you can stream!

The names that were unknown, the faces that were never acknowledged. This month we're paying tribute to South Carolinians who stood up and fought for the rights of African Americans not only here, but nationwide. Join us as we celebrate some of The Pioneers and change makers who paved the way for us all. Honoring Black History Month, it started here Thursday, February 15th at 7:00 PM on Wis sponsored by Stanley Law Firm.

It’s NOT about POLITICS. It’s about PRESERVATION. New Blog provides an autobiographical & historical journey toward understanding why Black awareness, history, & racism MUST be taught to ALL students as THEIR lived experience. https://conta.cc/3Q7noMb

Why Does the Consequential Instruction of Black History in our Schools Matter?
