KIPP SoCal Public Schools

Black History Month honors the achievements, contributions, and resilience of Black individuals and communities throughout history. But more than that, it provides an opportunity for students, educators, and families to engage in meaningful conversations about the powerful and diverse narratives of Black history and culture. By centering Black voices, resistance, and activism, we create spaces where students understand that knowing the past shapes the future. Let’s go beyond February—amplifying voices, sharing untold stories, and making Black history a vibrant, year-round presence in our classrooms and communities. 🫶🏽
