Celebrating Black Women Making History

Celebrating Women during Black History Month ~ just to name a few that you may not have studied before.  It is exciting that when conducting a search so many great individuals and groups are within our means to celebrate!  I am hoping a little something for everyone to explore.  Please feel free to share others that you are celebrating.
