My life online during the month of February is mostly shutting up about the things I normally natter on about, and promoting and highlighting others on the subject of Black history in honor of Black History Month. Such as:
Unsung Black Heroes, from Quentin R. Jiles

Quentin is the host of The Queue with Que. Two years ago he ran a series on "Unsung Black Heroes," talking about people like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Marilyn Nance and Dorothy Height. As a white person, I found myself nodding enthusiastically when I saw Coates or James Baldwin, and wondering "who?" at some of the other figures he covered. I hope you're better-educated about Black history than I am, but if not, or if you want a reminder, this series is for you.
There are 22 episodes, which are generally under ten minutes, although Fannie Lou Hamer just can't be contained in only ten minutes. 😀
Also, @mekkaokereke has been on fire talking about generational wealth today. I know I included him as someone to follow yesterday, but if a list of ten was too much for you, at least follow Mekka.
Then go back and follow the other nine, too. I'll have more suggestions tomorrow.
