February is Black History Month. This year’s theme, identified by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), is African Americans and Labor, focusing on the various and profound ways that work of all kinds—free and unfree, skilled and unskilled, vocational and voluntary—intersect with the collective experiences of Black people. Black people’s work has been transformational throughout the U.S., Africa and the Diaspora. This work constitutes compensated labor, as well as, community social justice activists, voluntary workers serving others, and institution building in churches and community groups. It has shaped the lives of Black people and the societies in which they live. The National Museum of African American History and Culture describes the African American workforce as continuing to chart new paths toward economic stability, personal growth, and racial uplift. Black men and women have always been vital to transforming and tooling America; the Museum is using this month to celebrate Black people’s often invisible labor of all kinds. These two organizations, as well as others, provide much information on this and other topics to enrich our appreciation of the importance of Black contributions to our development as a nation. Let’s use this month to expand our understanding of the challenges our Black brothers and sisters faced and continue to face in achieving equity in the workplace.
