A Resolution recognizing the month of February 2026 as "Black History Month" in Pennsylvania and celebrating a century of immeasurable contributions, resilience and sacrifices of African Americans in helping to shape our Commonwealth and nation.

This resolution designates February 2026 as "Black History Month" in Pennsylvania, symbolically recognizing the century-long observance of African American contributions to the Commonwealth and nation. It directly affects all Pennsylvania residents by formally honoring the historical achievements, resilience, and sacrifices of African Americans, marking the 100th anniversary of the movement founded by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson. The resolution includes historical context about the origins of Black History Month and Pennsylvania's connections to Black labor and civil rights history, but it has no binding policy effects.
