A Celebration of History, Culture, and Education
Black History Month, celebrated every February, honors the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black people in the United States. This month-long celebration has its roots in 1926 when historian Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week to educate people about African-American history.
Black History Month is not just about celebrating African-American history; it encompasses the broader history of Black people worldwide. It is a time to learn about the contributions of Black people in all aspects of society, from industry and community work to independence movements and cultural achievements.
Black history is not just for Black people; it is for everyone. It helps us understand the world's diversity and the contributions of Black people throughout history.
Black History Month is a celebration driven by the Black community itself, a testament to their resilience and determination to share their history and culture with the world. It is a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate the rich tapestry of Black history and its impact on the world we live in.

Focusing on race is divisive. We should celebrate human achievement, not separate groups.
