Happy Black History Month! February, and all year-round, is an opportunity to emphasize the achievements and contributions of Black Americans, and to further the awareness of those who have paved the way for progression across decades, and those who continue to. This year's theme for Black History Month is African Americans & the Arts, which covers a myriad a mediums such as "visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression." See how creator Amber Kemp-Gerstel (@DamaskLove) got creative for Black History Month in the images below. How will you be honoring Black History Month?

Today starts Black History Month! My history, Our history can't be fit, discussed, honored, displayed in just 28 days! Make this month and every month a history lesson for your children. Teach them about their culture, their lineage, their contributions, their potential. Take them to libraries, historical places, watch movies about Black pioneers, read books. It is your responsibility to do this, more importantly than what they get from school. Learn together. 28 days cannot define a race, a culture, so dont let it define you!

As we commemorate Black History Month, we honor the resilience and strength of Black communities throughout history. From overcoming adversity to fighting for justice and equality, the lessons learned are both powerful and inspiring. In the face of challenges, we've seen remarkable resilience in individuals who've paved the way for progress and change. Their stories remind us of the importance of perseverance, determination, and solidarity. Let's take this opportunity to reflect on the valuable lessons of resilience from Black history and apply them to our work and lives. Together, we can continue to build a more inclusive and equitable future. Here's a list of films that offer a range of perspectives and stories that contribute to understanding and celebrating Black history and culture. 1. 42 (2013) 2. Hidden Figures (2016) 3. 12 Years a Slave (2013) 4. Selma (2014) 5. Malcolm X (1992) #Blackhistorymonth

Every February, we observe Black History Month to celebrate the immense contributions, cultures, and histories of the Black community. For non-Black people, this month (and all months really!) must be about doing the work: the learning and the un-learning needed to show up as anti-racist allies. One way we like to do this is by reading and amplifying the work of Black female writers, such as Alice Walker and Maya Angelou who paint "powerful pictures of Black history and show how it shapes our present." Get nerdy with us and dive into these reads! Is there a book on your list that you're reading this Black History Month? Let us know in the comments. #blackhistorymonth #books #womenofcolour #blackauthors #diversityandinclusion
