Black History Month “Sprit Week”

The Black History Month 2024 theme, “African Americans and the Arts,” explores the key influence African Americans have had in the fields of “visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression.”

Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures.

Today, Black History Month is a time to honor the contributions and legacy of African Americans across U.S. history and society—from activists and civil rights pioneers such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Rosa Parks to leaders in industry, politics, science, culture and more. 

WAHINGTON IRVING’S BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPRIT WEEK ACTIVITIES!

Happy Black History Month Irving Eagles! Dropping in to acknowledge and celebrate the great things taking place this Black History Month. Our kiddos are in great hands and I hope you, their family members, have been checking in with them about the topics they are covering throughout the month. The celebration of Black and African American heritage, contributions, and culture is so very important and Irving has done a great job this February.

DIVINC took the opportunity to highlight our Black Teachers and Administrators by posting a tribute on the main office corridor bulletin board.

We would also like to give a special shout out to the amazing Special Curriculum team. Our library, music, and language spaces have been curated in honor of Black History Month.

Keep celebrations, appreciation, and learning alive at home as well.

DIVINC is here to help. Remember, Black history is our history!
