Black History Month Celebration

As February arrives, communities across the country, and right here in Florida, pause to honor

Black History Month, a time to celebrate the strength, brilliance, and enduring impact of Black

Americans. In a state as diverse as Florida, where African American history is deeply rooted, this month invites us to reflect, learn, and honor the legacy that continues to shape our shared future.

Some may ask, why is it important to celebrate Black History Month? Because Black history is

American history. It is a story of resilience in the face of adversity, creativity born from

struggle, and leadership that has transformed our nation. By celebrating Black History Month,

we honor those who paved the way, uplift voices that have too often gone unheard, and inspire future generations to dream boldly, lead courageously, and continue the work of building a more just and inclusive society for all.

There are a wealth of Black History Month events happening throughout the month. Thank you to our friends at Build Black Daily for compiling an incredible collection of celebratory events across the community. We loved it so much we wanted to share it with you! We encourage everyone to get involved, stay motivated, and be inspired!
