Growing up in poverty, Évora began her singing career in local bars at age sixteen and only achieved success in music in her later years.

Viola Davis is a Black American actress and producer. Davis is one of the few performers to have been awarded an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. She is the sole Black actress to achieve the Triple Crown of Acting as well as the third person to achieve both statuses. Since 2014, Davis has collaborated with the Hunger Is Campaign to help eradicate childhood hunger across America. Speaking on her work, Davis said that "seventeen million kids in this country, so one in five kids in this country, go to bed hungry. I was one of those kids, because I grew up in abject poverty; I did everything that you could possibly imagine to get food: I rummaged in the garbage cans, I stole from the local store constantly.” Today, we celebrate Davis’ activism and excellence in her work.

Happy Black History Month Southeastern! Y2K fashion was heavily influenced by the Black, Latinx, and other people of color’s communities. It was a collision of streetwear and wearing vintage clothes and it broke the boundaries of fashion at the time. It included wearing baggy clothes, ripped jeans, sneakers, and hoops. Aspects of it were taken and adopted into popular culture despite it starting as a form of expression for the Black community. You still can see the influence of Y2K fashion in what people wear today.

Krumping is an African-American style of street dance popularized in the United States, characterized by free, expressive, exaggerated, and highly energetic movement. The root word krump came from the lyrics of a 1990 song created by two dancers: Ceasare "Tight Eyez" Willis, and Jo'Artis "Big Mijo" Ratti in South Central Los Angeles during the early 2000’s. Krumping has since spread to many countries around the world.

Happy Black History Month Southeastern! During the Great Migration, nearly 175,000 African Americans moved to the Harlem section of Manhattan, giving the neighborhood the largest concentration of Black people in the world. Harlem became a destination for African Americans of all backgrounds. The Harlem Renaissance encompassed poetry and prose, painting and sculpture, jazz and swing, opera and dance. What united these diverse art forms was their realistic presentation of what it meant to be Black in America. This is what writer Langston Hughes called an “expression of our individual dark-skinned selves,” as well as a new militancy in asserting their civil and political rights. The movement brought notice to the great works of African American art, and inspired and influenced future generations of African American artists and intellectuals.
