It's the 100th anniversary of the first Black History Month!
This month, we celebrate contributions to science, politics, arts, and civil rights that have often been overlooked.
With restrictions on how race, racism, and Black history are taught in public schools and bans on critical race theory, it is important to remember and celebrate the contributions and legacy of African Americans across U.S. history and society—from activists and civil rights pioneers such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Rosa Parks to leaders in industry, politics, science, culture and more.
In the face of division, we choose unity.
In the face of hate, we choose love.
In the face of oppression, we choose liberation.
In the face of ignorance, we choose education.
In the face of injustice, we choose action.
In the face of despair, we choose hope.
(Black History Month Mantra)
