BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Black History Month is an annual celebration of the achievements, contributions, and history of Black people, honoring their culture, legacy, and struggles for equality. It serves as an important reminder of the past, while also recognizing the ongoing fight for justice and equality. Black History Month originated in the United States in 1926. It began as "Negro History Week," founded by historian Carter G. Woodson, to recognize the contributions of African Americans to the nation's history. The week was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Frederick Douglass (February 14), both of which were significant to the Black community. In 1976, during the nation's bicentennial, the week was expanded to a month-long observance and officially became known as Black History Month.
What We Can Do During Black History Month:
Learn and Educate: Read books, watch documentaries, and attend events that highlight Black history, leaders, and cultural contributions. Support Black-Owned Businesses: Use the month to support Black entrepreneurs and creators. Celebrate Black Culture: Attend performances, festivals, and exhibitions that celebrate the arts, music, and culture of the Black community. Have Conversations: Engage in discussions about race, history, and social justice. Volunteer or Donate: Support organizations that advocate for racial equality and justice. Black History Month provides an opportunity to reflect on the impact of Black individuals on society while promoting unity, education, and equality.

TOUCHDOWNS & TRADITIONS: THE SUPER BOWL EXPERIENCE
The Super Bowl is a major event in American culture, but its significance extends beyond just a sports game. It's a celebration of American football, entertainment, and tradition, drawing massive attention both in the U.S. and internationally.
The Super Bowl has become more than just a football game—it's a cultural phenomenon. It's often as much about the experience, including:
Commercials: Brands release some of their most creative and expensive advertisements during the Super Bowl, knowing it will have a huge global audience. These ads often become a major part of the conversation surrounding the event. Halftime Show: The halftime show is an entertainment highlight, featuring top musical acts and performances. In recent years, artists like Beyoncé, Shakira, and Dr. Dre have performed, attracting a diverse audience beyond just football fans. Parties and Social Events: Many people host or attend Super Bowl parties, making it a social event. It’s common to see gatherings where people enjoy food, drink, and celebrate whether or not they are big football fans. For many Americans, the Super Bowl is a time for national pride. It’s a moment where families, friends, and even strangers come together to watch the game. It’s also a significant time for cities whose teams are playing, as fans rally behind their team in hopes of a victory.
