I personally consider the boycott a success because it was a baby practice action for people who have never done that before. People got on board! They got to feel what it was like! It was easy! And when they get asked to do something next, they’ll have an experience to build off of.

This Black History Month, we're highlighting stories from community changemakers Black history happens every day, and the stories from NPR listeners are good examples of that. From becoming the first Black mayor of a town to singing music about change, these stories matter.

In hard times, find art that expresses how you feel. Celebrate those artists. Make sure they can thrive and are protected from harm. And grieve a little when they pass away and their art still rings so so true 50 years later.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

A striking Great Spotted Woodpecker perches on the rough bark of a pine tree, its bold black and white plumage standing out against the muted background. The bright red feathers beneath its tail add a vibrant pop of colour. Its posture exudes alertness and curiosity, perfectly capturing the essence of this iconic woodland resident.
