Inspiring Community Resilience: A time to celebrate the resilience, brilliance, and contributions of Blacks who have shaped our world! Black History Month, observed every February in the United States, began as “Negro History Week” in 1926, founded by historian Carter G. Woodson. In 1976, it expanded to a month-long celebration, aligning with the U.S. bicentennial, to honor the profound legacy of African Americans in history, culture, and society.
Black History Month is more than reflection—it's about envisioning a future inspired by the past. As Maya Angelou said, “Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave.” Let’s celebrate the innovators, amplify Black voices, and support Black-owned businesses.
