Woodson and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History to promote Black History in schools.&nbsp; Woodson, a Harvard-trained historian, chose February to coincide with the birthdates of Abraham Lincoln (12 Feb) and Frederick Douglass (14 Feb) &#8211; two figures who have been given significant credit for the emancipation of enslaved people.&nbsp; The week was expanded into a month in 1976 by President Gerald Ford, aiming to honor the achievements, struggles, and contributions of African Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more than 48 million African Americans in the US who have a history that stretches far beyond 1619.&nbsp; It is one that has ancestral roots on the continent of Africa and, because of trade, displacement, and resilience, has evolved into a rich identity that is now commonly called the African American experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>February is an opportunity to publicly acknowledge and celebrate the culture that has been cultivated through endurance, strength, and dignity.&nbsp; By will, might, faith, and passion.&nbsp; It is a chance to honor the spirit of Sankofa, an Akan term that means \u201creach back and get it\u201d.&nbsp; For African Americans, there is no history of the United States from 1607 to the present that excludes us.&nbsp; Black history is American history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like the brilliant leadership of Maggie Lena Walker, we carry the torch of excellence into the present.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>This year at Maggie Walker, our theme is<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>\u201cWomen\u2019s Voices: Truth and Triumph\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Lisa Williams, Ms. NaKita Lee, Ms. Joy Cobb, Dr. Alex Purifoy, and Robinette Cross<\/strong>&nbsp;have organized several amazing opportunities for our MLWGS community to join us and celebrate the undaunted women of the African Diaspora in America.&nbsp; And as we continue to dive deep into the pillars of the Walker Way, we have courageously collaborated to compassionately uplift our community.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a host of events happening both within the walls of Maggie Walker and the larger community.&nbsp; We will celebrate with the students on the following days and times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BlackHistory2026-corrected.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Black History Month 2026\" class=\"wp-image-393853 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BlackHistory2026-corrected-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BlackHistory2026-corrected-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BlackHistory2026-corrected-scaled.jpeg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BlackHistory2026-corrected-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BlackHistory2026-corrected-scaled.jpeg?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yours in service,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robinette D.
