#OTD in 1919, Black sharecroppers near Elaine, Arkansas, gathered to organize for fair pay. What followed was days of racial terror that left an unknown number of Black men, women and children dead, with estimates reaching into the hundreds. We remember them. #TheMarchContinues

What term do you use to describe yourself, your family or your community? And what does that identity mean to you? There isn’t one word that can capture everyone’s story. Start with what people call themselves. Ask. Listen. Respect the answer. #HispanicHeritageMonth

These terms have different meanings, histories and uses. Some people embrace certain terms. Others reject them entirely. And many identify more closely with their nationality or another part of their identity. So let’s talk about it.
