Let’s explore the colors commonly used to represent Black History Month! 🖤💚❤️💛 Each color has its own meaning and can be found in the Pan-African flag.

The theme of the centennial of Black History Month is “A Century of Black History Commemorations”. The theme is decided upon annually by The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), which was founded by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, George Cleveland Hall, William B. Hartgrove, Jesse E. Moorland, Alexander L. Jackson, and James E. Stamps in 1915.
