Posters: Black History Month

February 01, 2023

The 2023 ETFO Black History Month poster (artist Benny Bing) is a visual representation of the beauty that lies within Black features: specifically, hair, nose, and lips, that have been historically criminalized and degraded by white beauty standards.

The sisterhood and solidarity on display, speaks to the relationships and mentoring that is so crucial in the Black community and can be more widespread in classrooms with more Black educators. Our two subjects are a living representation of #Blackgirlmagic, the ability for Black love and joy to be found and celebrated in a world that often does not love them back.

ETFO's Elementary podcast features an interview with filmmaker Jennifer Holness on this issue, which she explores in her documentary Subjects of Desire. You can listen to the podcast on most podcast apps or by clicking here.
