Black History Month is an annual observance originating in the United States, where it is also known as African-American History Month. It has received official recognition from governments in the United States and Canada, and more recently has been observed in Ireland and the United Kingdom. It began as a way of remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated in February in the United States[4] and Canada,[5] while in Ireland and the United Kingdom it is observed in October.
In this month of African American history, we reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the Black community. At La Jornada, we join in celebrating the diversity and resilience of the Afro-descendant experience
