Please note: while these months are a great time to showcase and uplift certain voices, we have to remember to do it all year long! Our goal is to continue to acknowledge the contributions of all groups of people throughout the year. The HSH Library has plenty of stories to inspire you now and in the months to come, as well as digital resources for you to enjoy.
See a few examples below (these lists are not meant to be exhaustive, rather a starting point):
