Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated to be only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

Less than 20% of the federal workforce is black though.

Oh lord .

It's a step in the right direction gorls

They obviously can't force private companies to recognize it too but to have it recognized on a federal level is a great start and a NUDGE for it to start spreading

Bigger picture ladies . We have to start somewhere

It's a step in the right direction, but it's still more performative BS and no real change. 

I'll take the day off work tho.

Really nice and great

MUCH more needs to be done though

How they rushed to make this a Holiday unanimously almost and can't facilitate some REAL change is a bit beyond me tbqfhwyatm

Nice TIP toe in the right direction though!
