This year Black History Month comes at a pretty devastating time in the nation's history. Because of that, Outspeak wants to encourage everyone to join the discussion, to reflect on the importance of black history, and to speak up about the way forward. Throughout the month we will be focusing on content related to Black History Month, and we are seeking video and article submissions. If you currently have a video, or are interested in creating one related to Black History Month, send it to us via Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #WeTooAreAmerica.
