For the month of February, black families in America are educating generations with particular care and attention. Black History Month is a time to recognize people of color’s achievements, bravery, and resistance to racism. It’s time to respect black culture throughout history, which is founded in African diasporic rites, rituals, and intellectual traditions. Black History Month was created to honor the achievements that people of color have made in the US. 

Black History Month is more than just a month-long commemoration. This month is a time for people of color to reflect on their beauty, pride, amazing faith, and tenacity in the face of four centuries of tyranny. Black Excellence Month is a celebration of black excellence, community values, and dedication to justice that takes place every day of the year rather than just a month to honor the cultural significance of baseball player Hank Aaron or the courage of abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

By recognizing people of color’s achievements, there is a chance that it may appear that this is not American history. It is crucial to emphasize that ignorance of black accomplishments is one of the effects of racism, which is why Black History Month is so significant. Because it is a part of American history, we must honor Black history and talk about it more frequently. Making black success a permanent part of people’s lives is easy during Black History Month. It’s time to extend your horizons if all you know of successful and well-known African Americans is a small amount. 

America’s first Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, who delivered a brilliant speech at President Biden’s inauguration, speaks of her family in almost all of her lessons. Georgia organizer Stacey Abrams has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She constantly reminds the world that her incredible achievements are the achievements of many black women. Black empowerment and achievement is the story of an entire community.

Not all notable people of color are well-known. There are courageous leaders everywhere you look. Black women experience sexism and discrimination from the LGBT community. Three women who are of color and members of the LGBT community started the Black Lives Matter movement. It is incredibly inclusive and acknowledges the nexus of racial, gender, environmental, and disability rights, as well as other movements advancing equality and recognizing the inherent value and dignity of every African American. 

The United States was joined by countries including Canada, Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands to celebrate people of color and their contributions to history and culture during the first African Heritage Week in 1926. Black History Month today promotes the year-round study of African Americans’ accomplishments by stimulating conversations about black people and their contributions through events like museum exhibits and movie screenings.
