This special edition of Toledo Streets Newspaper honors and celebrates Black Americans. February is Black History Month, an annual observance made official in 1976 by U.S. President Gerald Ford to “honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” TSN aims to lift individuals’ voices through our publication and this month is no different. This theme is dedicated entirely to Black history including adversity, achievements, and identity. Due by January 15th.

March is Women’s History Month, an observance and celebration of the vital role of women in our communities, history, and contemporary representation. This issue will honor local, national and historical women that make our world go round! Due by Febuary 15th.

Each year, Earth Day lands on April 22. This year, TSN is dedicating an entire publication to the world’s largest environmental movement. As our climate crisis grows, so should our awareness of how we, as individuals, organizations, and corporations, play a role and what we can do to take better care of our planet! In this issue, we will highlight local sustainability movements and activism, content on environmentalism across social classes, and more! Due by March 15th.
