February is Black History Month, an annually observed month-long celebration of African American life, history, and culture. Founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in February 1926, what was formerly known as Negro History Week became a month-long celebration honoring the triumphs and resilience of African Americans, and recognition of their central role throughout U.S. history.
Black History Month is a yearly reminder to renew our commitment to making this country and this county Equitable, Welcoming, and Inclusive for all, but especially for the African American residents who make Marin County such a culturally rich place to live.
