The New York Times is publishing obituaries for People of Color and women who were "Overlooked" when they died. Until recently, the Times viewed white men as the primary subjects of public eulogy. Now it is seeking to ameliorate the discrimination that even followed women and non-whites to the grave.
Here is a set that were published this week for Black History Month:
