In today's episode, Brittany and Windsor discuss some lesser known black figures that exude black excellence. In this celebration of blackness and the positive impact of black figures in American history, Brittany and Windsor discuss past influencers such as Bayard Rustin and Marsh P. Johnson and modern movers and shakers such as Bryan Stevenson and Congresswoman Lucy McBath. We are starting Black History Month strong but remember, black history should be celebrated every month.
