Twitter Kicked Off Black History Month With A Golden Hashtag

Black Twitter came together this morning in a celebratory spirit to kick off the first day of Black History Month under the light-hearted hashtag #TwitPicTheBlackestPictureInYourPhone. Twitter users are sharing photos and videos from their camera rolls that highlight comical, proud and intrinsic facets of their black experiences. From pictures of black college grads hitting squad poses, to classic gifs of Obama in jumpman form, these images show the candid layers of black realness. Some highlights below.
