Visit a historic site during Black History Month

February is Black History Month, an opportunity to pause in our busy schedules to show gratitude for the contributions our ancestors made, through their blood, sweat, tears, and hard work, that advanced the liberties and freedoms we enjoy today.

Over the course of this month, we can educate a wider audience about those contributions. African-American History Month not only helps African-Americans understand their own heritage but gives all Americans a better understanding of the role of African-Americans in our nation’s rich and diverse history.
