What was supposed to be a powerful photo series honoring black female civil rights leaders and historical figures has now turned into a coffee table book.

The “Because of Them, We Can” campaign features images of young girls posing as black icons. Released last year, the series went viral, striking a nerve in those who realize how important it is to teach our youth about the past.

Eunique Jones who created the series, put together 365 pages of inspiring images in the form of a coffee table book.

What an inspiring project.

How can we work to ensure that our youth know the history of their ancestors beyond that of school textbooks?
