Ronald Brown Academy proudly celebrates Black History 365 days of the year! In February, we emphasize our celebration with special displays, events, and school-wide programs. 

 

Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.

The history of Black Americans is a story of impressive ingenuity, growth and strength in the face of often extremely difficult circumstances. February is when people in the United States celebrate Black History Month, a time for Americans of all backgrounds to learn more about the steadfast leadership and enduring contributions of Black Americans. 

Here are some ways you can celebrate Black History all throughout the year: 

-Support black-owned businesses.

-Educate yourself about Black History.

-Explore connections to Black History through the arts.

-Celebrate Black leaders and visionaries in your field.

-Visit historically important places to learn more about Black culture.
