Today marks the first day of Black History Month. This year aims to focus on the multiple facets of “Black Health and Wellness” — a theme underscoring the legacy of everything from Black scholars, medical practitioners and midwives, to more recent initiatives focused on mental health for people of color.
For nearly a century, our country has recognized and celebrated the innumerable contributions that Black Americans have made for our country. Black History Month serves as both a time to celebrate and learn about the history, accomplishments and sacrifices of the Black community. Let this month serve as a powerful reminder that Black history is American history.
Below are some quick links with some interesting facts and resources about Black History Month and the African American culture. I encourage you all to take some time to check them out.
