Black History Month has begun, with organizations across New York hosting a range of events such as performances, pop-up shops, and dinners in celebration of Black culture and history. It originated from Negro History Week, initiated by Carter G. Woodson in 1925, and expanded to a month-long observance in 1976. Notable festivals like the Annual Rhythms & Movements of African American Culture Festival aim to showcase African American identity and activism while educating attendees on essential historical contributions during February.
Black History Month celebrates the contributions of Black Americans through a variety of events, from festivals to performances, honoring their cultural resilience and activism.
Asase Yaa Cultural Foundation's festival highlights African American culture with performances, discussions, and art, fostering a deeper understanding of identity and historical significance.
