This amazing blog. It’s a history of hairstyles of the African diaspora, and the stories of those who wore them. Currently focusing on Reconstruction-era figures for Black History Month, but freely flings itself across centuries and continents.

Dealing with a racist city

I have been doing Pittsburgh Black Pride for 19 + years and we always have to struggle, and do without, Falling short on everything that we try to accomplish. The last 2 years I spent submitting, and proving that we did not receive any funds over $25.000. We really struggled through it , but the organization with the support of the LGBTQ black community came together still celebrating, thankful for that. I still don't know who made the claim and the state said they will not tell me. So I feel like this gives the people power to keep trying to pull us down.
