We may be at the end of February, but there’s still time to celebrate Black History Month. Scientific contributions, literature and the arts, social justice informed by faith--the contributions of African Americans to the U.S. have been central and significant. Black History Month is not a novelty where historical facts are read, and pictures of black celebrities are temporarily displayed. It is a recognition of the struggles, achievements and the ongoing contributions of African Americans to American life and culture. We are challenged to continue overcoming the barriers and injustices that persists; and through a deep and abiding faith in God, to pursue a society where love of Christ is manifest and liberty and justice for all prevails. Sankofa: to go back to the past and bring forward that which is useful GENERAL BLACK HISTORY MONTH: EVENTS This list provides a variety of ways to celebrate Black History month in February and beyond! https://interculturalministriescentral.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/02/Black-History-Events- 2020.pdf BLACK HISTORY MONTH ORIGINS In 1926, Carter G.
