If the internet's recent fascination with Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin has taught us anything, it's that a sharp suit, a fresh cut, and a little confidence can go a long way in politics. And while Woodfin has been collecting viral attention for his looks and swagger, he's part of a much longer tradition of Black politicians whose presence extends beyond the podium. Think Barack Obama's effortless cool, Wes Moore's leading-man looks, or Edward Brooke's old-school elegance. But these men aren't just here to give us something nice to look at.

After emancipation, formerly enslaved Black Americans built communities of their own, acquired land, raised families and created places where they could live with greater independence from racism. Known as freedom colonies, these historically significant settlements were established during Reconstruction and to escape Jim Crow. Residents created support systems that allowed families to live more independently, establishing churches, schools and homes. Today, descendants are working to preserve these communities by maintaining family land, organizing reunions and passing histories to younger generations, ensuring these important places and stories are not forgotten.
