There’s always a lot of ‘History‘ available during the month of February regarding Black History, the contributions, and culture. FYI- Ava Duvernay‘s film – Origin*.
*Source of excerpt below – https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/origin-movie-review-2023
“Origin” aims to link the violent repercussions of American slavery to the horrific crimes of the Holocaust to India’s degrading caste system in a narrative that combines gnawing grief with a cyclical sense of history.
But do you know how Black History Month started and when? Are you aware that it was as long ago as 1915?
Below is an excerpt from the History Website
“The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States.”
The History Channel has an in-depth report, which you can acquaint yourself and your families with at the link below.
