When a Black Woman Has to Prove Her Worth What happens when decades of achievement are met with doubt, and a Black woman finds herself having to justify not just her work, but her right to be in the room?

He was just ten years old. He loved football, supported Manchester United and dreamed of becoming a medical researcher so he could help his sister. On 27 November 2000, Damilola Taylor was fatally injured while walking home in Peckham. His death shocked Britain. His family endured years of waiting for justice. But his parents, Richard and Gloria Taylor, refused to let their son’s legacy be defined by the violence that took him. They established the Damilola Taylor Trust to help give other young people hope, opportunities and a better chance of a future. This Black History Month, we remember the child behind the headlines — his dreams, his family and the future he was never given the chance to live. Every child deserves to make it home. Every child deserves a future. Read our Black History Month feature with Black Wall St. Media. - Alzheimer’s the Black doctor who helped decode the disease
