Imagine, for a moment, what Americans would be feeling today, just weeks after Inauguration Day, without Black women like Nsé Ufot and LaTosha Brown, who mobilized voters in record numbers to elect President Joe Biden and Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Imagine the state of Black girlhood without organizations like EveryBlackGirl and Justice For Black Girls, which work to protect Black girls like Grace, who are pushed out of school and overpoliced because their race and gender seem like great threats, even at young ages. Imagine where several Black survivors of sexual assault would be if women like Asante McGee and Drew Dixon didn’t step forward to tell their stories to say, quite simply … enough.⁠

For #BlackHistoryMonth, HuffPost is honoring Black women, of past and present, whose life stories paint a portrait of America. With a collection of essays, interviews and features with Black women who are working toward an equitable America, the project highlights the ways Black women have always been the standard-bearers for change and justice. Today, as the refrains “protect Black women,” “respect Black women” and “listen to Black women” reverberate across social media and are stamped on T-shirts and tote bags, we must remember that the work is still underway.⁠
⁠
To build a country full of free Black women means some of the weight must be lifted off our shoulders, writes HuffPost Senior Enterprise Editor @heyerinevans. We can’t build a more equitable democracy alone. Yes, Black girls are magic — we show up and show out for ourselves and others. But it’s not enough to shout that Black women saved our democracy. It takes all of us to see racism, patriarchy, transphobia and inequity truly break down.⁠
⁠
Protecting and respecting Black women means keeping their leadership at the forefront, and getting in the trenches with them when the work is hard, exhausting and often underappreciated. From protests to policy meetings to Pennsylvania Avenue, we all have to keep marching forward.⁠
