The Black History Month 2024 theme, “African Americans and the Arts,” explores the key influence African Americans have had in the fields of "visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression."

Black History Month should not be the only time that we learn and think about the contributions and experiences of Black Americans. Black people have contributed to every aspect of American society, culture, and politics, so telling our histories is about more than recognition — it’s about honoring our humanity and respecting our right to call America home. Learning about Black history provides a fuller, culturally inclusive perspective of America. Black history is for everyone, every day of the year. So this year, extend your celebration beyond February with learning and recognition of Black history throughout the year. 👉 Challenge your biases about Black people. 👉 Read books by Black authors. 👉 Watch films by Black screenwriters. 👉 Support Black businesses. 👉 Let Black people share their histories, and listen. Double tap if you agree that #BlackHistoryIsEveryDay. And learn more here: https://ow.ly/qvyn50QyVtv #RacialJustice #RacialEquity #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory #BlackHistoryMonth
