Black History Month’s theme “A Century of Black History Commemorations” highlights generations of contributions and legacy … let us stand in respect 💛✨
The 2026 Black History Month theme marks a historic milestone, as it commemorates the centennial of the first formal Black history observance, established in 1926. This moment honors a powerful legacy of celebration by recognizing the generations of scholars, educators, artists, and community leaders who have worked tirelessly to document, teach, preserve, and uplift Black history and culture in the United States and across the world. At the same time, the theme invites reflection and a forward-looking focus, encouraging communities to look back on a century of commemoration to better understand how these efforts have shaped present-day identity, strengthened communities, and advanced progress, while also inspiring future generations to continue this vital work.
