Black History Month started as a dream. Nobody believed that African Americans had a history worth celebrating given the violent legacy of enslavement and Jim Crow. However, Dr. Carter G. Woodson proved them wrong! In 1926, Dr. Woodson launched Negro History Week during the second week of February that coincided with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Eventually, Negro History week was expanded during the 1970s to celebrate Black history during the month of February. But what about Black intersex people? Our experiences are not only confined to Intersex Awareness Day (October 26th) but are an everyday celebration of the many worlds in which we inhabit. During #BlackHistoryMonth, let us lift up Jimmy Scott, Carlett Brown and the many, nameless, soon-to-be discovered #intersex pioneers who boldly challenged sex and gender norms to live freely and unapologetically. Join this amazing panel @yzlm_, @faaji.funk, @obiomachukwuike, and @ohh_allsmiles as we discuss how Blackness and intersex look and feel across the African Diaspora. This event is pay-what-you-can. We invite contributions toward panelist honorariums, captioning, and hosting, and free tickets are available for any who need them. You know where to go to sign up! 📋
