As we near Black History Month’s end, remember: celebrating Black history isn’t confined to just 28 days (29 for 2024). It’s a year-round commitment to honoring the past, uplifting the present, and shaping the future.
Here are a few additional ways you can keep the spirit of Black History Month alive every day:
CONTINUOUS LEARNINGDive into literature written by Black authors and storytellers. Expand your mind and perspective with books exploring the Black experience’s richness and diversity.
Educate yourself on the contributions of Black trailblazers in various fields, from science and technology to politics and the arts. Their achievements have shaped our world in profound ways.
ACTIVE PARTICIPATIONAttend cultural events, art exhibitions, and performances that celebrate Black creativity and expression. Embrace this year’s theme of African Americans and the Arts.
Engage in conversations about race, equity, and social justice. Listen actively, speak out against injustice, and work towards building a more inclusive society for all.
MONETARY SUPPORTSupport Black-owned businesses in your community and beyond. Your dollars can make a difference in empowering entrepreneurs and creating economic opportunities.
Donate and tour Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
Remember, it’s not just about checking off boxes—it’s about being intentional and committed to continuous learning and growth.
Together, let’s make every day an opportunity to celebrate Black history and amplify Black voices.
