Black History Month, celebrated annually in February, honors the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. It serves as a reminder of the struggles and triumphs of Black individuals in the face of systemic racism and oppression. This month-long observance provides a platform to educate, celebrate, and reflect on the rich cultural heritage and significant role of Black people in shaping global history. Recognizing Black History Month fosters inclusivity, diversity, and understanding in society, promoting unity and social progress. It’s an essential time for individuals and communities to acknowledge past injustices, celebrate achievements, and work towards a more equitable future.

In addition to commemorating Black History Month, we have a video where individuals discuss figures they admire and their reasons why. You can find the video below. Let us know in the comments who you admire!
