Richmond Public Library has several exciting events planned in celebration of Black History Month, including a Spike Lee film festival February 15 and 16 at the West End Branch, as well as curated lists of books and other resources.
PBS and PBS KIDS announced their Black History Month programming that explores Black heritage, cultural icons, family bonds, and more, bringing forth inspiring content that honors the richness of the community.
This year's Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” intends to encourage broad reflections on intersections between Black people’s work and their workplaces in all their iterations and key moments, themes, and events in Black history and culture across time and space and throughout the US, Africa, and the Diaspora. Like religion, social justice movements, and education, studying African Americans’ labor and labor struggles are important organizing foci for new interpretations and reinterpretations of the Black past, present, and future.
