BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2026
Black History Month 2026: AAMEN Reflection Series
As we begin Black History Month 2026, St. Michael AAMEN invites our parish to reflect on the centennial of Negro History Week. The following reflections ground our month-long series in faith, history, and hope, honoring the legacy, contributions, and witness of African Americans whose lives continue to shape our Church and our world.
A Century of Black History Commemorations: A Faithful Beginning
This reflection honors the enduring legacy of Dr. Carter G. Woodson and the centennial of the first national Black history observance. It invites us to remember, teach, and celebrate Black history as an act of truth, faith, and unity.
Key African American Milestones in Education: The Past 100 Years
This reflection traces the past century of African American progress in education—from the founding of HBCUs to modern efforts for equity. It reminds us that education has always been an act of hope, courage, and faith.
African American Achievements in Medicine and Science
This reflection honors African American physicians, scientists, and researchers whose work has healed bodies, strengthened communities, and advanced human dignity. Their lives remind us that the call to heal is a sacred one.
As we journey through these reflections, may we grow in gratitude, understanding, and commitment to the dignity of every human person.
