Health and Social Awareness Highlight
February is black History Month!
The theme for Black History Month 2026, chosen by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), is "A Century of Black History Commemorations," marking the 100th anniversary of Black History Month's founding by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926, focusing on celebrating, studying, and preserving the contributions and stories of Black Americans over the past century and into the future. This theme emphasizes resilience, identity, and the ongoing importance of inclusive historical narratives, encouraging exploration of creativity, leadership, and collective care as vital aspects of Black history, note sources from early 2026.
Key Aspects of the Theme:
- Centennial Focus: It commemorates the 100th anniversary of the official establishment of Negro History Week, which grew into Black History Month.
- Preservation & Accuracy: Highlights the need to share an accurate, inclusive history, especially in light of efforts to suppress Black history in public culture.
- Legacy & Identity: Explores how Black history shapes identity, fosters pride, and drives progress through various avenues like art, storytelling, and community building.
- Resilience & Hope: Recognizes Black history as a source of strength, resilience, and hope, showcasing Black people's enduring commitment to American principles and beyond.
Who's Celebrating:
- ASALH: The organization that founded Black History Month leads the commemoration with this theme.
- Universities & Cities: Institutions like Utah State University and Sterling Heights, MI are promoting events aligned with the theme.
The theme invites a look back at the origins of Black history celebrations while looking forward to future generations understanding and sharing their vital stories.
