February🫶Is Still Black 🖤History Month🌸

2025/2/22 Edited to

... Read moreFebruary is a significant month dedicated to honoring the contributions of Black individuals throughout history. It is a time to recognize and reflect on pivotal events, achievements, and the ongoing struggles for equality and justice. This year's theme encourages participation and acknowledgment of the struggles faced in the fight against systemic racism and discrimination. One of the legendary figures in this movement is John Lewis, a civil rights icon known for his impactful quote, 'Never be afraid to make some noise and get in some trouble. Good trouble, necessary trouble.' This phrase serves as a reminder that civil disobedience is a vital component of advocacy and that standing up against injustice should never be avoided. As we engage in discussions and activities this month, let us reflect on the impact of Black culture and heritage in our society. From artistic expressions to revolutionary changes in policies, the contributions are vast and profound. Let this month be a time of learning, sharing stories, and embracing the values of the past while striving for a more equitable future.

A graphic titled 'BLACK HISTORY: HOW IT BEGAN' details the origin of Black History Month. It features portraits of Carter G. Woodson, Abraham Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass, explaining its creation in 1926 as Negro History Week, its evolution in 1976, and its purpose to educate and preserve Black history.
BLACK HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS PART 1
Black History Month began in 1926 as Negro History Week, created by historian Carter G. Woodson to make sure Black contributions were taught—not erased. In 1976, it officially became Black History Month in the United States. Black history didn’t begin with slavery—and it doesn’t end in Februa
