BLACK HISTORY MONTH
THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY
Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all of the Black diaspora from all periods of U.S. History. It's an opportunity to spotlight and celebrate the achievements that African Americans have accomplished in this country, despite the history of racism and oppression.
Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.
Black History Month highlights the evolution of Black History, promoting, protecting, and preserving the legacy of African American history and its impact on the modern world. This year commemorates the 100th Anniversary of Negro History Week (NKA Black History month) established in 1926. However, we all know, BLACK HISTORY is to be celebrated EVERY DAY!
VALENTINE'S DAY
FEBRUARY 14TH
Valentine's Day has origins in ancient Roman and Christian customs. It's thought to have started as a Christian feast day to honor a martyr named Valentine. The holiday has since become a celebration of love and romance in many parts of the world.
At Unity, we choose to Celebrate the Love of God, and the Joy that Love creates when we allow it to radiate through us and out into the world! We focus on Self-Love and honoring the Divine Love within.
