Submission
Enter places, organizations, works of art etc. that represent cultures/groups that are often excluded from crosswords. For example, you could submit the names of women's professional sports teams, cultural monuments, titles of films that are by/about people of color etc. Please try to submit words/phrases that you haven't seen in mainstream crossword outlets.

Don't submit places or things that are TOO niche, but feel free to be liberal in your estimation of what 'famous' means-- constructors can decide if a word/phrase works or not for a puzzle.

One entry per submission, but feel free to submit as many entries as you like!
Entry (in full) *
Common alternate name for your entry (e.g., abbreviation, nickname etc.): Optional
Notable facts/description of the entry (optional, but VERY encouraged to help with cluing and so we can all learn some things)
