11 Black icons you won’t hear about on MLK Jr. day — but absolutely should
In honor of a holiday that has come to represent the spirit of the civil rights movement, we’ve compiled a list of the heroes you probably won’t hear about on Monday. These are the people who marched in the streets of Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, side by side with King, who delivered inspiring speeches about civil rights and ending racial oppression, icons who, in their distinct way, expanded King’s vision of “the revolution for human rights” to include women and queer people.
In honor of MLK Jr. day I’ll be reading into other civil rights icons, both on this list and beyond. -Tajha
