From Black Humboldt:
As a way to empower the Black community, we want to create a sense of liberation through events planned FOR & BY Black and Brown community members. This project keeps Black and Brown history, which is often left out of textbooks or mainstream curriculums, available and transparent for the entire Humboldt County community. Black history is United States’ history too and doesn't exist separate. By telling truthful stories of strength and perseverance and celebrating accomplished Black and Brown people we are liberating the community Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.
