I’m going to go ahead and wish you a Happy Black History Month. To keep it real, we need to celebrate Black History every month, every day. As a people, I think we are doing a great job of highlighting our achievements all year long. Now that the girls are getting older and can better understand, I’m going to do my best to understand why Black History is so important but it won’t be easy.
Happy Black History Month! I know I’m late but it’s still February. I really think Black History Month should be a year-round initiative but this is the time where schools and businesses take the time to spotlight American Black History. I’m not going to leave it up to the school to teach my daughter about Black History. It’s my job to share with her the significant contributions that black people have made to our country. I’ve pulled together a few kid-friendly ways you can celebrate Black History Month (year) with your kids.
American Girl is celebrating Black History Month with their courageous new character to the BeForever collection, Melody. Growing up in the 1960’s, Melody is the main character in the American Girl book, No Ordinary Sound, authored by Denise Lewis Patrick.
