Black History Month recognizes the achievements, influence and lived experiences of Black and African Americans across U.S. history. The observance was formally recognized as a month-long celebration in 1976, following years of advocacy and education to elevate Black history as an integral part of American history. This year’s theme is “A Century of Black History Commemorations," marking 100 years since the first national Black history celebrations began. You can celebrate by engaging with educational resources, attending cultural events, supporting Black-owned businesses or participating in learning opportunities throughout the month.

This month, and throughout the year, let’s continue to acknowledge the important role that Black and African American communities have played in shaping our nation.
