Celebrate Black History
Celebrate NAACP History
Celebrate American History
Black History Month is a time to reflect, celebrate, recommit, and remind us that Black History is American History. Black History is not only about the past—it is about honoring those who paved the way and building a future worthy of their sacrifice.
​
This month is deeply connected to the legacy of the NAACP, founded on February 12, 1909, by courageous leaders such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary White Ovington, Oswald Garrison Villard, and others who organized to confront lynching, segregation, and discrimination.
​
Black History Month itself traces back to historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the “Father of Black History,” who launched Negro History Week in 1926 to ensure Black contributions would never be erased or forgotten.
​
Black history is not over—we are still living and creating it.
The challenges of today remind us that the work of freedom continues: voting rights remain under attack, economic inequality persists, health disparities endure, and justice is still too often unequal. The NAACP remains essential to the future of Black progress by protecting democracy, empowering young leaders, advancing health equity, strengthening education pathways, and ensuring Black excellence is supported, not suppressed.
​
Let us do more than observe—let us participate: learn our history, support Black excellence, serve our community, and keep moving forward together.
​
Honor the past. Build the future.
