Happy Birthday to Toni Morrison, a literary giant whose words reshaped the world. Born Chloe Anthony Wofford on February 18, 1931, in Lorain, Ohio, she rose from a childhood marked by racial hardship to become the first Black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Huey P. Newton (1942–1989), visionary co-founder of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.
