Celebrating 100 Years of
Black History Month

February 2026

One hundred years ago, Carter G. Woodson established the celebration of Negro History Week. From his efforts, that week has grown and flourished into Black History Month, celebrating the contributions, ingenuity, fortitude, and strength of Black Americans.

In February, we celebrate our stories of resilience, community, determination, and honor all the joy, beauty, magic, power, and excellence that is Black History!
