Black History Month did not begin as a celebration.
It began as a correction.
February 2026 marks 100 years of nationwide commemoration of Black history.
Black History Month still exists because the record still needs correcting.

i thought i'd celebrate Black History Month by sharing a book by a Black creator every day, starting with this picture book by @4nikkolas.bsky.social that just got a Sibert honor. i was immediately caught by the illustrations when our library copy came in last year, and the concept is so cool.

They started during the George Floyd Uprising and are one of the only mutual aid sites still in operation. Their mission is to organize volunteers, redistribute resources, build mutual aid bonds with their neighbors, and ensure everyone has the means for dignified survival.

ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
