Celebrating Black History Month
Channel: PFLAG National
Date: 2023-02-02

The origins of Black History Month, trace back to 1926, but the modern-day observation did not become official until 1976. In 2023, many of the suggestions for celebrating and commemorating Black History Month focus on elevating the intersectional nature of identity — learning about Black women brings together the issues of race and gender, while learning about Black LGBTQ+ people brings together issues of race and how they intersect with sexual orientation and gender identity.

We’re excited to invite Representative Malcolm Kenyatta (PA-181st), to the conversation!
