Black History Month should not be the only time that we learn and think about the contributions and experiences of Black Americans. Black people have contributed to every aspect of American society, culture, and politics, so telling our histories is about more than recognition — it’s about honoring our humanity and respecting our right to call America home. Learning about Black history provides a fuller, culturally inclusive perspective of America. Black history is for everyone, every day of the year. So this year, extend your celebration beyond February with learning and recognition of Black history throughout the year. 👉 Challenge your biases about Black people. 👉 Read books by Black authors. 👉 Watch films by Black screenwriters. 👉 Support Black businesses. 👉 Let Black people share their histories, and listen. Double tap if you agree that #BlackHistoryIsEveryDay. And learn more here: https://ow.ly/qvyn50QyVtv #RacialJustice #RacialEquity #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory #BlackHistoryMonth

President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Since then, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The theme for 2024, “African Americans and the Arts,” explores the influence Black Americans have had in the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, film, music, and more.
