What is Black History Month?
Why does Black History Month matter?
Black History Month is an annual observance in the United States and Canada in February to recognize the contributions and achievements of Black people throughout history. It provides an opportunity for education and awareness about the history and experiences of Black communities and the role they have played in shaping the world we live in today.
The celebration of Black History Month is important because it allows for the recognition and celebration of the significant contributions that Black communities have made to American society and world culture. It also serves as a reminder that Black people have faced and continue to face significant discrimination and inequality, and it encourages ongoing efforts to address these issues.
“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of that tapestry are equal in value no matter their color.”
— Maya Angelou
