Black History Month began 100 years ago as Negro History Week. Carter G. Woodson created this week to correct the record of Black contributions. A century later, the fight to tell the full truth about our history continues. This month, we honor the legacy. And we protect it.

The Trump regime is so desperate to seize control and hold on to power that they’re trying to manufacture a crisis about Californians improperly voting or being improperly registered to vote. They do this to create a pretext for denying election results they don’t like.

This is part of the authoritarian playbook. Manufacture a crisis, confuse voters, and hope voters stay home. But we won’t let that deter us. Your vote is your voice. They cannot silence yours.

An ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back. Accountability means investigating the agent who pulled the trigger, not the man he shot. We demand a Congressional investigation.

31 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Black men gathered on the National Mall for the Million Man March. As efforts to erase Black history and roll back hard-won civil rights continue, we fight to protect the progress they marched for.

DHS's goal was to keep ICE out of the headlines. The lives they’ve terrorized deserve to have their stories told. We will keep exposing ICE’s abuse until there is a complete overhaul of the system. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

Our Annual Voting Record is here, and it reveals that this Congress was one of the most harmful to our civil rights. Too many members of Congress are more concerned with pleasing Trump than with serving their constituents. Read more here: civilrights.org/2026/10/13/v…

Eugenio Tahay’s wife died while ICE held him in detention. He never got to properly grieve or say a final goodbye, even after giving the guards copies of her death certificate. Human dignity doesn't matter to ICE. The cruelty is the point. arkansasonline.com/news/2026…

Latinas deserve to build generational wealth. To achieve pay equity, we need stronger labor protections, fair wages, access to benefits, and pathways to economic growth.

Just 13 years before being appointed to the Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall led the team that argued Brown v. Board of Education — the case in which the Court declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. An independent judiciary is what makes these cases possible.

“I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Fannie Lou Hamer faced beatings, evictions, and firings. And still, she kept fighting for our voting rights. And so will we. Happy birthday, Fannie Lou Hamer.

Todd Blanche and the DOJ have a legal duty to enforce civil rights, consumer protection, and antitrust law — including for AI companies. Guardrails only work if the agencies responsible for enforcing them do their job.

Sixty-nine years ago, federal troops escorted nine Black students past a racist mob into Little Rock Central High School. Today, Carlotta Walls LaNier is still asking us to continue advocating for what we know is right. denver7.com/news/local-news/…

Civil rights data about U.S. students helps parents to spot disparities in their kids' schools, researchers to track patterns, and lawmakers to write better policy. This data is more than 6 months late and harder to understand. Our kids deserve better. npr.org/2026/09/04/nx-s1-595…
