On June 21, 2015, melanin assembled from around the world and took over social media in the form of selfies for another edition of  #BlackOutDay. #BlackOut was created by the Tumblr user expect-the-greatest, and the current Blackout team consists of users blkoutqeen, expect-the-greatest and nukirk. You can find out more information regarding #BlackOutDay here! You can easily scroll through the hashtag on Tumblr or Twitter and find gorgeous Black folks in a multitude of different forms. Below you will find just a glimpse at what Vogue and many other major media outlets are missing when they do not include Blacks in their magazines, videos, etc.
