The John M. Wilson Center

Welcome our Community Connections Mentors for 2026-2027. 🔻

Black History Month was formally recognized nearly a century ago, beginning in 1926 as Negro History Week, created by historian Carter G. Woodson to ensure Black stories were studied, remembered, and honored. Today, we celebrate 100 years of preserving and uplifting Black history, culture, and contributions. 🎉✊🏾
This milestone highlights a century of resilience, creativity, and progress—from civil rights and social justice to art, science, politics, and culture that have shaped the nation. With over 40 million Black Americans in the United States, Black communities continue to influence and strengthen every part of American life.
Now more than ever, it is essential to honor the past, recognize the present, and invest in the future. This celebration is a reminder to uplift Black voices, acknowledge ancestral roots, and stand in solidarity with those who continue the work of equity, justice, and preservation of Black history. 🖤✨
