This February, we're celebrating Black History Month. It's a special time to recognize the profound impact Black Americans have on our society, culture, and history. In 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson first instituted "Negro History Week," aligning it with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Its purpose was to raise awareness of the often-overlooked achievements Black Americans have made from mainstream historical narratives. initiative aimed to encourage the coordinated teaching of the history of American Blacks in the nation's public schools, a radical idea at the time that sought to challenge the underrepresentation of Black Americans in the country's history. In 1976, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month urging Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Since then, Black History Month has been a time for all Americans to celebrate the achievements, contributions, and history of African Americans.

🖤Join us in celebrating Black History Month at the office! 🖤 Let's honor and recognize the countless contributions made by Black Americans throughout history. The history and experiences of Black people are an integral part of America's heritage and have shaped both our past and present. The criminal justice system has long been intertwined with the oppression of black people, from slavery to the mass incarceration we see today. As public defenders, we recognize the responsibility we hold in fighting for justice and equality for all. Black Americans face disparate treatment at every stage of the criminal process, from traffic stops to sentencing. We must remember that the U.S. Constitution, when written, excluded people of color, and racial discrimination was enforced by the courts. It is crucial for public defenders to understand this history of struggle to effectively advocate against injustice. Throughout history, people of all backgrounds have joined together to fight against injustice, and we must continue this legacy. Black history matters every day, not just in February. Together, we can work towards a more just and equal society.

Today is the first day of Black History Month, an annual celebration of achievements by Black Americans and a time to honor their legacy in U.S. history and society. President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Since then, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The theme for 2024, “African Americans and the Arts,” explores the influence Black Americans have had in the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, film, music, and more.
