February is Black History Month! Recognition of Black History began 100 years ago with a single week founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926. Fifty years later, in 1976, the United States government expanded the week of recognition to an entire month. The ASALH theme for this year’s Black History Month is A Century of Black History Commemorations.
We’ve compiled some recommendations for you! We’ve split them into categories, which you can find below. While the theme of the month is history, we also have fiction recommendations (check at the bottom of the page)!
