#29BlackWomenYouShouldKnow

I'm starting a twitter campaign for Black History Month called 29 Black Women You Should Know. I will post the biography of 1 influential female figure everyday counting down until the end of the month! Obviously there are more than 29 influential Black women in U.S history but this is a short list of people that I believe we all should learn more about. Some of the names hopefully will be familiar, others may not be--which is a good thing. My goal is to increase overall awareness about Black Women's contributions to United States history. I encourage everyone to check it out and share the posts. There will be posts on my twitter page and here. BTW Being that I did not start this campaign until today (February 4th) there will be multiple posts today Happy Black History Month!
