Every February is Black History Month, when we celebrate the achievements of African Americans and the significant roles they have played and the impact they have made on all facets of life and society throughout U.S. history. This year, the theme is Black Resistance, focusing on African Americans who have resisted oppression and fought for the basic human rights that are promised in the U.S. Constitution—or, as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History puts it, “the history of Black Americans’ responses to establish safe spaces, where Black life can be sustained, fortified, and respected.” As civil rights issues continue to appear in news headlines every day, it is more important than ever to study African-American history. Education is crucial for helping the next generation learn about the past struggles and successes of Black history and their relevance to the issues of today. As such, we’ve added a new Black History Month feature to Infobase’s acclaimed African-American History database to offer students and other researchers an excellent place to start exploring the Black History Month theme.
