Join us as we explore transforming Black History Month into a celebration throughout the entire year.

This podcast examines the importance of understanding and teaching Black history beyond just one month. We discuss whether, at present, it acts more as a token gesture due to insufficient representation in schools. Could it be a way to downplay the more difficult truths Black people have faced historically?

We also consider how a broader understanding of Black history might affect young Black students, asking if it would help them feel more empathetic, equal, and valued when their heritage and achievements are celebrated.

Finally, we look ahead to what Black History Month may become as it reaches its 100th anniversary in 2026, envisioning a future of ongoing celebration and education.
