I initially started these ‘Black Stories We Should All Know’ March 2023 on Instagram. I plan to catalog/archive those stories here on Substack where they will also be searchable.
I first covered Ms. Edelman March 1, 2023 to kick off Women’s History Month.
If you missed this on Instagram, I hope you will enjoy the stories here in Sally’s Notebook.
