The app store's monthly hub provides users with access to the latest information about diversity awareness through an interactive map highlighting all types including entertainment/games as well as more traditional categories like education & travel!

“The Oprah Conversation” episodes “Caste: Part 1” and "Caste: The Origins Of Our Discontents," from Apple TV+, featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson, will be available for free on the app. In her book Caste - described by one reviewer as having an important message about race relations in America today--Isabel covers topics such slavery to highlight what can happen when people are socially deprived or economically disadvantaged due their skin color; she also talks through how these castes have changed over time."
The concept that America is built on a caste system has been controversial for decades. Some people think it's an outdated notion, but Wilkerson says he lives every day with the reality of being labeled as "lower" or "upper." The reading group discusses how their personal experiences and stories match up against those inarguably told by master author William Styron. In these episodes we take our seats at this table where black men sit next to white women; poor folks share digs near wealthy ones - all living cheek by jowl while fighting off epithets.
In an interview with Oprah, R&B singer Telle Smith talks about her experience reading "Caste." She discusses how it made her feel empathetic towards others in the book and realises that people from different backgrounds can be connected through their shared experiences. In this passage on “Oprah’s Book Club,” singer Telfa Smith shares what she thought while reading a new novel called 'Caste'. The title itself speaks for itself but throughout our discussion you'll learn more details about why these events have such psychological implications—and all because there are so few stories where we see someone who becomes violently ill due to food poisoning!

The new update enhances content offered through two channels dedicated exclusively for this demographic group: VPM's one-hour documentary exposing America's dark past at slavery which airs every Sunday night starting January 14th; as well another episode available indefinitely after its initial debut run--"What You Need To Know Before. In the days following President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, five southern states joined forces to restore their former independence as a separate nation.
The events that transpired during this time period are often overlooked or forgotten about in our modern world where justice prevails more easily than it did then due political and social turmoil between North & South America over slavery itself-a practice many Americans found morally reprehensible yet necessary at one point (and still do today).
Apple Podcasts has a wide range of podcasts that are all worth checking out, including “Seizing Freedom” from VPM. Hosted by author and historian Kidada E. Williams with artwork by L.A Inkedwell comes on every week to discuss news in Black culture through art!

The collection celebrates colors from across Africa - red representing blood that was shed during liberation while black unites people under its banner; green signifies natural treasures like vegetation or animals native only there- brightening our lives by providing us with foodstuffs such meat on savannahs alive today because farmers didn't want them dead when they could be useful commodities later too!

From the comfort of their home, these photographers were able to explore America and capture inspiring images that would bring joy for years. They traveled through many different towns across our great country like New York City or Los Angeles capturing those special moments we all take for granted until they're gone forever - because who wants a boring old photo from just anywhere?
For many, Black History Month is about the tricentennial of America’s freedom and opportunity. But for some it can be an uncomfortable reminder that they still don't see themselves represented in society or government despite how much progress has been made over time with civil rights movements like Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have A Dream speech which happened 50 years ago on January 18th this year!
