Every February, the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and the UK officially celebrate Black History Month.
Black disabled history is an important aspect of Black history, and a vital part of U.S. and world history.
Black people with disabilities are multiply marginalized. More awareness of the contributions and achievements of Black leaders with disabilities can help drive and inform systems change.
Throughout Black History Month, we celebrate the contributions of Black Americans with disabilities who made a significant impact on our world. Each Thursday during the month of February, we will highlight a person whose life story and work needs more awareness.
