Black History Month

The month of February is recognized as Black History Month. Black History Month began as the National Negro History and Literature Week in 1926, a partnership between Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH). The celebration of Black contributions and history was selected because it fell between the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, on the 50th anniversary of the first Negro History Week, ASNLH transitioned to a Black History Month. 

February 2021 marks the 95th anniversary of Negro History Week and the 45th anniversary of Black History Month. 

See our school’s Facebook page for celebrations of the contributions of Black Americans through the humanities, sciences, and inventions that impact our daily life. 

American Heart Awareness Month

During the month of February, we also raise awareness of the impact of cardiovascular or heart diseases. Issues related to cardiovascular diseases disproportionately impact the Black community. For resources and recipes, click here!
