Black History Month creates a space to reflect on the past, renew the vision, and reimagine the future. America’s history cannot be told without including the journeys of Black people. Carter G. Woodson’s dedication to celebrating historic contributions of Black people led to the establishment of Black History Month, marked every February since 1976. Woodson, the son of formerly enslaved parents, completed his PhD in history at Harvard University in 1912, becoming the second African American (after W. E. B. Du Bois) to earn a doctorate.

April brings International Black Women's History Month. Conceived by Sha Battle, a Georgia technology consultant, and entrepreneur, International Black Women's History Month aims to commemorate, honor, and elevate historical and contemporary accomplishments of Black women throughout Africa and the African Diaspora. Miami MoCAAD invites you to celebrate artists in the spotlight, savor inspiration from trailblazers, peek at a snapshot of future trends, and browse the bookshelf offering history, art, healing, and children's books, plus sample some music and film.
