Celebrate Black History Month

Celebrate Black History Month

February 2, 2026

Black History Month allows us to learn about, celebrate, and honor Black leaders. Many of these leaders who contributed to the world in the name of science, innovation, and economy were never acknowledged and/or received their honor. Black History Month celebrates and puts their achievements in recognition.

Black History Month is a time for the world to acknowledge key figures from our past and present. It’s an opportunity to spotlight and celebrate the achievements that African Americans have accomplished in this country. Collectively, we can honor their contributions and transformational impacts on American history.

When we celebrate Black History, we consciously acknowledge the important roles and historical presence of African Americans in the fabric of the United States. To know the African American story and for Black culture to be represented in proper context is necessary and it matters. Story-telling and accurate representation restores value, honor, and diversity to the larger narrative of American history. When we honor Black History, we honor American History.
