In a time when data is purged, one figure I like to see elevated for #blackhistorymonth is Marion Stokes.
From 1977 til her death in 2012, right during Sandy Hook, she recorded TV nonstop. 35 years of media and data, that would otherwise get discarded but be available for study.

History was recorded down to the minute details.
If we can, we can respect her legacy by documenting, recording, and disseminating so that history can never be erased.
