OPINION: Women making history in 2020
March 31, 2020
I have found that even in 2020 there are women at the forefront of social change who are still not getting recognized for the work they are doing. We are witnessing women on the frontlines of social movements directly in front of our eyes. In my last story I mentioned that well-behaved women often do not make history, but in this case the women who are going against the grai...

OPINION: Black women helped shape civil rights; it’s not talked about enough
March 30, 2020
With Women's History Month coming to an end, I began asking myself who my favorite women that I learned about in history classes were. I was unable to think of one.
