There are gay sex video xxxso many ways to celebrate Black History Month online, but dressing up as legendary black women might take the cake.
That's what kindergartner Lola is doing this February with the help of her mother and 28 legends that changed history. The two are celebrating in an adorable way by bringing the history lessons to life with a photo series they are sharing online, similar to what other families have done in previous years.

"I saw that she really understood what we were saying, and was engaged, so I thought about the fact that Black History Month was right around the corner, and wanted a fun and meaningful way to teach her," Smith-Jones explained.

Because of Lola's love of dressing up, her mother decided "to physically turn her into women who have opened doors and created opportunities for girls just like her."
Everyone from activist and scholar Angela Davis to entertainer Josephine Baker to Shirley Chisom, the first black woman to be elected to Congress, are represented in the project. "I knew there were many women deserving of recognition, so the only downside was narrowing it down to 28," Smith-Jones explained.

While Lola says she loves "all of them," she especially loved dressing up as Bessie Coleman, the first woman of African American and Native American descent to earn a pilot license.
"Josephine Baker made her feel confident, as she kept looking in the mirror and smiling at herself," Smith-Jones said. "And Dr. Mae Jemison really inspired her. But she says Rosa Parks was one of her favorites, jail number and all. She says that Rosa was very brave."

Smith-Jones explained that teaching Lola about black history will go beyond those featured in the series.
"She'll be able to look back at them years from now, and hopefully have fond memories, and still feel empowered," she said. "Because I want her to learn more about black history than just those we feature, we talk about other significant figures, watch movies and videos online, things of that nature."
