What Is The History Behind Black History Month?

10. Black History Month and The Future

Black History Month has endured for close to a century, overcoming obstacles and helping promote a spirit of tolerance and education. The Black Lives Matter movement launched an initiative known as Black Futures Month, to focus on building better futures for African-Americans and providing them with more opportunities. This initiative is living proof that Black History Month, despite its changing forms, will continue to endure. The 2020 theme will be "African Americans and the Vote," and the 2021 theme will be "The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity."
