I helped spearhead the effort for Senate Resolution 37 to officially designate February 28 as Black Women's History Month in Illinois. This date intentionally connects the nationally recognized Black History Month in February with Women's History Month in March. This connection emphasizes the unique intersectionality of being both Black and a woman.
