Before 911 existed the way it does today, a medical emergency in a Black neighborhood could mean one thing. A cop showed up.
Or a mortician. No treatment. No CPR.
No IV. Just a ride. That changed in 1967 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?‼️🤔

March 10 is recognized as the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day dedicated to highlighting the importance of rest, restoration, and well-being for Black women.
Throughout history, Black women have carried extraordinary responsibilities in their families, communities, and workplaces. From the eras of enslavement and segregation to the ongoing pursuit of equality and opportunity, their labor, leadership, and resilience have helped shape societies across the world.
The National Day of Rest for Black Women serves as a reminder that rest is not simply a luxury—it is an essential part of care, healing, and renewal. The day encourages Black women to pause, recharge, and prioritize their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
It is also a moment for communities to recognize the many ways Black women contribute to society as educators, caregivers, artists, entrepreneurs, leaders, and advocates for progress and justice.
By making space for rest and restoration, individuals strengthen their ability to continue creating, building, and leading in their communities.
On March 10, the National Day of Rest for Black Women invites reflection, appreciation, and support for the well-being of Black women everywhere. 💚
