Black History Month begins February 1, 2026! From the pioneers of the past to the indigenous voices all over the world to the local heroes making a difference. Black History is not stagnant. It is ever growing, ever changing, and ever widening.

Did you know that Black History Month is celebrated not only in the United States but also in places like Canada and elsewhere? This year, AfroCROWD will hold events and projects all over the world as we celebrate Black excellence. We will be heading to New York, Toronto, the Caribbean, and places throughout the African continent. We will catch up with indigenous tribes, celebrate online with sports fans, highlight local cuisine, and talk to historians from all over the globe all in celebration of Black History, Africa, and its Diaspora. At AfroCROWD, that is what we do all year round!

We are also celebrating Wikimedia which helps make this all possible, lowering knowledge barriers since 2001. This year marks Wikimedia's 25th Anniversary. Let's GO!!! Like, follow and watch here for more!
