• Read books by Black authors. Visit your local library or online bookstores and peruse curated sections dedicated to celebrating Black authors.
• Follow Black content creators. If you're on social media, start with professional historians associated with museums, libraries and universities for credible historical references. Follow Black registered dietitian nutritionists for nutrition information or recipes.
• Support Black health and wellness by advocating. Access to health care for Black Americans is often less than adequate due to several social determinants of health, such as a lack of safe transportation. This is a dire issue since Black Americans not only experience a higher rate of illnesses, but also higher rates of death from these illnesses. You can help by supporting legislation aimed at eliminating racial and ethnic health disparities and chronic disease.
