Black History Month 2023 is here.

Do you know what you’re doing yet? 🤔

 

✨ ✨ ✨This is an exciting time of the year for Support Black Charities!   Black History Month (BHM) is finally here.  It’s an opportunity to highlight the impact that Black Nonprofit Leaders are making within the Black community.

 

 What is Black History Month?

BHM, also known as African American History Month, is an annual observance in the United States and Canada to commemorate the achievements and contributions of Black people throughout history. The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two important figures in the struggle for Black equality at the time.

Black History Month is a celebration of Black culture, Black individual accomplishments and Black contribution to the advancement and elevation of the global Black community. This relates directly to Black organizations, as they most often embody Black culture, Black accomplishments, and Black community expansion.

BHM also offers countless ways to acknowledge this annual celebration whether you are focusing on the past, present or the future. Some celebrate, participate, others contribute or honor it.
