February 2026

This year we celebrate 100 years of Black History Month — together!

A coalition of Boston organizations are amplifying a shared message of African-American excellence, leadership, resilience, and joy. This collective witness documents Boston's story during this centennial of Black History Month and the nation's semiquincentennial. During a time of division and erasure, we are trailblazing a movement — as we've always done. Grounded in joy and liberation, let us gather this Black History Month and make history together.
