Welcome to the first full week in February! It doesn't exactly feel like winter, but we can still celebrate.
February is Black History Month! African Americans have made significant contributions to U.S. history that we can recognize and honor throughout the month.
February was chosen for Black History Month primarily because the second week of the month coincides with the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln, February 12, and Frederick Douglass celebrated on February 14.
An impressive collection and resources are available at the National Museum of African History & Culture, part of the Smithsonian museum system: https://nmaahc.si.edu/.
