  "How corporations and leaders treat people within (or outside) their organization is a direct reflection of the ethics of the organization and their brand". This month, and always, it is important that we all consider what it means to be a true ally and ways that we can support the efforts and opportunities of others. 🖤 As February unfolds, it's the perfect time to reflect, honor, & celebrate the profound contributions of Black individuals to our history, culture, and society. #Blackhistorymonth isn't just about recognizing the past; it's about embracing the present & shaping a more #inclusive future together.   By embracing #diversity and celebrating Black heritage, we not only enrich our workplace culture but also contribute to a more #equitable & inclusive society. #DiversityandInclusion #InclusiveWorkplace #UnityInDiversity #EducationForAll #EqualityAndJustice #CulturalAppreciation #ProgressThroughUnity #VIRAInsight #cultureofcare

Black history month is an opportunity to understand Black histories, going beyond stories of racism and slavery to spotlight Black achievement.

DotHouse proudly celebrates Black History Month (BHM)! BHM is every February and celebrates the achievements and history of African Americans. BHM was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. The 2024 theme centralizes on "African Americans and the Arts" spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. Social justice has historically developed visual and literary arts to capture the spirit and platforms of resistance, and to disseminate those messages to audiences outside of mainstream methods. African American art is infused with African, Caribbean, and the Black American lived experiences. In the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression, the African American influence has been paramount. African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment. We encourage everyone to learn more about BHM by engaging in events throughout our communities. Link: https://nmaahc.si.edu/ #BlackHistoryMonth

The theme of this year’s Black History Month focuses on “African Americans and Art.” Black Americans have impacted multiple facets of art, including visual arts, music, and cultural movements. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g-9upeNH

Whilst we celebrate and use philosophically rich texts by black authors throughout the year as a stimulus for enquiry, during this month we will highlight authors and their stories which may expand your repertoire. This year’s Black History Month theme is Reclaiming Narratives and according to the BHM UK Magazine it ‘marks a significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture. By emphasising this theme, we shine a brighter light on stories, allegories, and histories that underscore our commitment to correcting historical inaccuracies and showcasing the untold success stories and the full complexity of Black heritage.’ One of these stories that must be told belongs to Henrietta Lacks. We have added a free resource on P4C.com entitled ‘Henrietta Lacks and medical sampling’ which you can find here: https://buff.ly/4eIHvKb This resource is one of a series developed as part of the SAPERE Thinking Together in Science and RE Project. The three year project was funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation as part of Big Questions in Classrooms (BQiC).

This year’s Black History Month theme, "Reclaiming Narratives," marks a crucial step in recognising and addressing the representation of Black history and culture. By focusing on "Reclaiming Narratives," we bring greater attention to our stories, experiences, and heritage. This theme highlights the importance of correcting historical inaccuracies, celebrating untold success stories, and embracing the full richness of Black heritage. It's about reclaiming our stories, honouring our heroes, and challenging the narratives that have frequently overlooked the contributions and achievements of Black individuals in the UK and worldwide. #ReclaimingNarratives
