Mutual Aid History is Black History ❤️🖤💚
Born from Black creativity during Reconstruction, mutual aid in the U.S. arose as Black communities built systems of care when the government failed them. From the Black Panthers’ Free School Lunch Program to modern efforts, this legacy deserves recognition!
