Black History Month

Black History Month is an annual observance in February (in the U.S. and Canada) and October (in the UK) dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the contributions, achievements, and history of Black individuals and communities. Initiated in the United States in 1976, it aims to educate the public about the struggles and accomplishments of Black people throughout history, from figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman to modern leaders in various fields. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against racial inequality and emphasizes the importance of understanding diverse histories in shaping society today.
