Celebrating Black History Month

Resources for Early Learning Teachers and Families

February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the history, culture, and important contributions of the Black community in United States history.

Every year the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) selects a theme to center their celebration for Black History Month. This year the theme is African Americans and Labor. In regards to the 2025 theme, ASALH shares, “Indeed, work is at the very center of much of Black history and culture. Be it the traditional agricultural labor of enslaved Africans that fed Low Country colonies, debates among Black educators on the importance of vocational training, self-help strategies and entrepreneurship in Black communities, or organized labor’s role in fighting both economic and social injustice, Black people’s work has been transformational throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora.”

In celebration of Black History Month, Early Edge California has put together a list of various educational resources to introduce Early Learning teachers, caregivers, and families to Black life, history, and culture, and the events and people that paved the way for racial justice.
