As we moved into Black History Month this February, we introduced a new campaign, Black History Year. With continued attacks on the education of Black history throughout North Carolina and the country as a whole, it's on us to share this important information, not just in February, but all year long. 

You can’t erase Black history no matter how hard you try. It’s everywhere, in every field, in every era, and on every continent. So we want to send a clear message to those who try to hide the truth, there is no place we haven’t been and nothing we haven’t done. Black History is American History and it’s World History. Any attempts to whitewash it will fail. And we’re going to make sure we’re giving it to you not just this month…but all year. So, buckle up and welcome to Black History Year.

Have Black history you want to share? Use the hashtag #BlackHistoryYear on social media and join us in the movement!

“#BlackHistoryYear is about setting the record straight and inviting all who are willing to know more about who Black people really are. Black pasts, Black presents, and Black futures. A more complete and accurate view of Blackness that refuses to succumb to censorship or fragile sensitivities. It's about making clear the role Black people play as members of the human family.”
