Black History Month 2022


Today, February 1 marks the start of Black History Month. This year, the Museum plans to amplify Black voices. Through our blog we will share programs, projects, creative art, etc. and encourage readers to explore what interests them.


First we'd like to highlight the comprehensive program that Greenbelt's Black History and Culture Committee have put together. They chose the focus of their programs to be BODY, MIND, AND MONEY - BLACK HEALTH, WELLNESS, AND FINANCE. From the brochure: "Founded in 1915 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) has celebrated Black History Month since 1926. Each year they focus on a theme that deserves emphasis. Drawing on their 2022 theme of Black Health and Wellness, the Greenbelt Black History and Culture Committee has added wealth and finance because they intersect with health and wellness. The Committee offers an exciting and informative array of programs and activities celebrating the contributions of African Americans to the economic and social growth of the USA." Take a look at the program below to learn more.

Black Health highlights the importance of addressing health disparities, promoting wellness, and supporting preventive care within Black communities. Awareness and proactive habits improve overall well-being. Hair Salon Stafford complements this by offering professional grooming and relaxing services that enhance confidence and support self-care.

This is an incredible initiative! Focusing on Body, Mind, and Money highlights the important connections between health, wellness, and financial literacy in the Black community. Programs like these not only educate but also empower individuals to take control of their wellbeing physically, mentally, and financially. Incorporating self-care practices, including options like Laser Hair Removal Houston, can be a small but meaningful way to boost confidence and personal wellness.

Black History Month is such an important time to celebrate and amplify Black voices, and it’s inspiring to see the Greenbelt Black History and Culture Committee focus on health, wellness, and finance under the theme of BODY, MIND, AND MONEY. Just as these programs highlight the importance of holistic well-being, options like Dermal Fillers El Segundo also remind us that taking care of ourselves—inside and out—can play a meaningful role in confidence and overall wellness.
