I know, Black History Month is the most behind us now of the three times I’ve said so. That said, I posted a lot of YouTube playlist links last month, and it’s possible someone missed one. So here they are again, all together now:

That ought to keep anyone busy and entertained both.

I know, Black History Month is even more behind us now than it was a few minutes ago. Still, I recommended a bunch of people to follow, and I’m not sure whether every post got the same amount of attention. Tomorrow is Friday as I type this, but my company is giving workers Friday and Month off as a “Wellness Weekend,” so today feels like Friday to me.

Here, then, is the complete list of recommended follows, each and every one of which will make your home timeline better (shuffled from the order in which I originally posted them):

I know, Black History Month is behind us now. Still, I want to do just a little bit of housekeeping and follow-up. After all, I didn’t boost every single one of @mekkaokereke’s excellent threads, and I could have. So now, here they are, all in one place:

That’s the lot of them, and every one worth a re-read.

Attached: 1 image Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! You know the drill by now. I don't like talking about Black history. Americans know Black history. I want to talk about white American history. In other words, racism, and the erasure of both positive achievements of, and injustices suffered by, non-white people. That's what people don't know. Try this: Ask your white US friends what the statue of liberty celebrates. Now ask your Black friends. Or French folk of any color. 1/N #BlackMastodon

It’s the end of Black History Month, but never the end of Black history. One way to think about why we spend only one month focused on Black history is that we spend one month looking back so we can spend the other eleven looking forward, always and forever keeping our eyes on the prize.

That’s the legendary Mavis Staples, from 2007. It was also the theme of a PBS documentary.

Eyes on the Prize, from PBS

That playlist is a bit jumbled, but there are several excellent documentaries from public broadcasting there.

Fellow wypipo, Black people don’t disappear on March 1, and the challenges unique to Black people don’t either. We all face struggles, it’s the American variation on the human condition, but this country reserves some challenges for those with more melanin, and we shouldn’t forget that.

History doesn’t end. Tomorrow’s history is today’s news coverage, and the news isn’t great. Former cartoonists and current politicians are making openly-hostile statements against Black people and Black culture, preying on ignorance and lack of understanding, hoping an uncritical audience will take their statements solely at face value, ignoring the nudges and winks and high-pitched whistles. In some cases, they’re even saying the quiet parts out loud. They won’t stop tomorrow, and neither can we.

Black history is American history, and American history is Black history. Black lives matter. Recognize and celebrate Black excellence every day of the year.

It’s a common joke, but also a bit frustrating that Black History Month is the shortest month of the year–by two days. The good news is that we are allowed to talk about Black history the rest of the year, too! In fact, given that Black history is American history, and given how much Black history is suppressed and rewritten and denied even today, let alone for the last 400 years, I think it’s worth sticking with the subject into March and beyond.

Instead of short videos, PushBlack delivers longer deep-dives into subjects for Black History Year, a 40-minute podcast. I’m linking YouTube, because that’s what I’ve been doing this month, but you can subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. The YouTube videos are chapterized, which is nice.

If 40 minutes is too long for you, PushBlack also delivers a short, byte-sized series of videos.

There are 68 and counting of the short videos. Of course, I recommend both.
