B lack History Month is an an- nual observance in February that celebrates the achievements, contributions, and struggles of Black individuals throughout history. A century ago, the idea
of highlighting Black accomplishments was all but nonexistent, and it is because of Woodsons creation of Negro History Week in 1926 that Black History Month has become one of the most significant periods of the year. It provides a plat- form to recognize their significant impact on culture, education, politics, and society. Black History Month is a crucial time dedicated to honoring the accom- plishments and struggles of Black individuals. It reminds us of their invaluable contributions to society and encourages us to acknowledge and combat systemic racism. Educating our youth about Black history cultivates empathy, promotes social justice, and fosters a more inclusive society.
