February 1st, 2024- Prince Hall (1735-1807) #VRABlackHistory 2024
"A quest to ensure that Black people understood their past was at the heart of the creation of Black History Month...If you think you have no history, it’s like being rootless...It’s unnatural. If you think your people don’t have history, you can do nothing. The point of Black History Month is so you can understand your history.”
- CeLillianne Green, author of “A Bridge: The Poetic Primer on African and African American Experiences.” Washington Post. February, 1st, 2022 https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/02/01/carter-woodson-miseducation-negro-schools/
On February 1st, 2024, we honor Prince Hall of Boston, who was not only a registered voter of his day, but a staunch abolitionist and civil rights activist who used the power of petitions to effectively petition the government to gain rights for Black people.
