BLACK HISTORY MONTH & BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS DAY

In the United States, Black History Month is celebrated to honor the many achievements by African Americans and to recognize the central role played by African Americans in U.S. history. In Brazil, Black Consciousness Day is recognized on November 20, which is the birthday of Zumbi, a famous warrior who led the resistance to slavery in the 17th century.

"We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now."
– Martin Luther King Jr.

The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it
If only we're brave enough to be it
– Amanda Gorman
