Celebrating Black History Month

Advance Memphis staff celebrates Black History Month each year by taking time throughout the month to lift up, honor, and learn more about the many African Americans who have contributed to our nation and city. We’re sharing some of what we learned again this year after compiling it into a free Black History Month Family Guide.

In this guide, you will find stories of courage and bravery to read on the weekdays, plus fun and educational activities for all ages on the weekend! May we celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of our African American brothers and sisters this month, and every month. Share your experience with the family guide by tagging us on Facebook or Instagram or check out stories of Black History in the Making as we honor and acknowledge just a few amazing individuals that we know.
