Black History Month is a very significant month in our calendar. 2020 was a huge year for the progression of Black History. With the Black Lives Matter Protests, awareness of police brutality, voter recognition, and the election of the first female black VP, racial justice has become as prominent as ever. As we strive to end racism, it’s important to commemorate and respect Black History Month.
Black History Month was recognized by President Gerald Ford in 1976. Before Black History Month was founded, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, organized a week to teach and celebrate Black contributions to society annually. Each year has a different theme for Black History Month; this year’s theme is,“ Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity.” During Black History Month, we celebrate/commemorate Blakc achievements and contributions to society. As we fight for racial justice and elimenatie racial discrimination, we must commemorate Black History
Why should we celebrate Black History Month? Throughout history, the contributions of Black Americans were looked over, downplayed, and unrepresented. We didn’t give Black Americans the credit to which they deserved. Black History Month aims to illuminate and commemorate the achievements of Black scientists, activists, artists, civil rights leaders, musicians, inventors and many more. By celebrating Black History Month, we hope that others can recognize and celebrate the impact that Black Americans had on shaping our culture and society.
