Black History Year

Learning your history makes you - and your people - stronger. As Black people, we know we’re often left out of the history books. That media images are skewed. That we need access to experts, information, and ideas so we can uplift our community. Black History Year connects you to the history, thinkers, and activists that are usually excluded from mainstream conversations. You might not agree with everything you hear, but we’re always working toward one goal: uniting for the best interests of Black people worldwide. BHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation’s largest non-profit Black media organization - contact us at BlackHistoryYear.com.
