Black History Month, from February 1st to March 1st, commemorates the history and achievements of African-Americans. The theme for this year highlights the significant ways labor influences the lives and contributions of Black people. Emphasizing notable historical figures, Sister Dana calls for celebration in vivid colors. Founded by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson in 1915, ASALH aims to promote awareness about Black accomplishments. In a political context, she contrasts the peaceful certification of Trump's electoral victory in 2024 to the violence of January 6, 2021, noting the continued support of many Republican Congressmen for Trump.
This year's theme, African-Americans and Labor, focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds intersects with the collective experiences of Black people.
ASALH was founded to address the dearth of information on the accomplishments of Black people and to disseminate information on Black life, history, and culture to the global community.
