Honoring Black History Month 2021

Black History Month 2021

Black History Month is a celebration of achievements by African Americans in U.S. history. In September of 1915, an American Historian and pioneer of African American studies named Carter G. Woodson, founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH). ASNLH is an organization that is dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.

In honor of Black History Month, Zempleo highlighted 4 non-profits charities that empower Black communities each week of February. Please see below on more information for each of the charities.
