Black History Month Ecards

Celebrating Black History Month

Black History celebrations began in the late 1800s, coinciding with the February birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Nearly a century later, in 1976, February was officially named Black History Month.

Honoring all African American achievements throughout history, you’ll find museums, theaters, libraries, schools and other groups holding special commemorations. Individuals and families of all backgrounds often pay tribute by volunteering, visiting a historical monument, attending a parade, taking a class or reading a book by an African American author. Sending Black History Month cards is another great way to uphold these traditions and celebrate with the people in your life.

How to Wish a Happy Black History Month

It’s thoughtful to wish friends and family a happy Black History Month as a sign of respect and recognition. One easy and heartfelt way to do that is by sending a Black History Month card by email, text or by sharing a post on social media. Digital Black History Month cards make it simple to acknowledge the month in a way that feels personal and sincere, especially since you can add your own message to express appreciation, support and celebration in your own words.
