BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2026
Coming in February
Black History Month at U-M is led by the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs' Black History Month Committee, in close partnership with Supporting Incoming Black Students (SIBS) and Black Student Union (BSU). Our committee works to make Black History Month a memorable experience for undergraduate and graduate students, staff, and faculty at the University of Michigan.
ⓘ What is Black History Month? Black History Month is an annual observance dedicated to honoring and commemorating the achievements, contributions, and rich cultural heritage of Black individuals and communities throughout history. Black History Month started as “Negro History Week,” an idea of distinguished historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has also officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.
