Celebrating the African Diaspora With Black History Month…Together

Some people in the United States refer to Black History Month as African-American History Month or U.S. Black History Month, unfortunately. Referring to a celebration of the accomplishments of Black people worldwide by using the name of a single country overshadows its real intent. It is not meant to honor just American Blacks or just Canadian Blacks or just Blacks who are descendents of slaves. It is a celebration to increase awareness of the accomplishments of the past and current African Diaspora, without historical bias or geographical limitations.
