Black History Month — Cross-Stitch Patterns

When it's February in the U.S., it's Black History Month!

Black History Month is the month where we consciously and actively celebrate the accomplishments of leaders, thinkers, creatives, and trailblazers of African American descent. Although Black History Month's origins began in 1915, it became an official national event in 1976 and has been celebrated every February since.

The U.S. isn't the only country that celebrates the achievements of Black and Brown history makers. Black History Month is also celebrated in Canada, the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands.
