A Century of Black History
This year marks a historic milestone: the 100th anniversary of the first Black History Week, established by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926. As we celebrate under the theme “A Century of Black History Commemorations,” there is no better time for families to explore the rich legacy and achievements of Black Americans.
To commemorate this centennial, Young, Black & Lit is sharing 11 must-read books for children of all ages. These selections not only teach history but also support Black woman-owned and independent bookstores in Chicago and beyond.
