Empowering Voices: Celebrating Black History Month This February

Every month is “Black History Month” here at BlackPast.org. Nonetheless, we recognize that hundreds of thousands of our visitors specifically seek out the website for information on African American history during the month of February. We have gathered much of that data that may be helpful for teachers, students, and the general public.
