The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars proudly joins the global celebration of African American history and the profound impact that Black individuals have made throughout history.

This month serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to justice that have defined the Black experience. We honor the leaders, trailblazers, and everyday heroes who have shaped our world, not just in February but every day. In the spirit of our mission to unite the world of policy and ideas, the Wilson Center strives to include Black and African American voices and those of all minorities throughout the breadth of our programs.

Throughout Black History Month and beyond, let us engage in meaningful conversations, amplify Black voices, and educate ourselves about the rich tapestry of stories that have often been overlooked or silenced. By acknowledging the past and celebrating the present, we contribute to building a future where every individual is seen, heard, and celebrated.
