We've put together a list of both local and national resources, events, and organizations to celebrate and learn more about Black history and Black history in the making.
Black History Month celebrates the African diaspora, including contributions made by African Americans. In 1976, President Ford designated the entire month of February as Black History Month in the United States. It is now celebrated in the US and Canada in February.
