As the New Year has approached us, the majority of the country has just come out of the holiday season which includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years’. In the midst of the hoopla of these three separate occasions, many of us of African descent have taken note of other—and perhaps even more special—occasions that take place between the months of December and February: Black History Season.
Not familiar with the term? You’re not alone. There are many Blacks who are barely exposed to the information given that is more freely during Black History Month in February. Black History Season—like the holidays—extends over a period of time that lasts for a minimum of two months. In December, many of us commemorate the seven principles of Kwanzaa, which is celebrated during the final week of the year, beginning with December 26.
The Kwanzaa festivities are only the beginning. The month of January kicks the Black historical perspective to full swing, starting with celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 on New Years’ Day. The month of January also includes the world famous MLK celebrations that often span the entirety of this particular month. The season reaches its peak (and unfortunate demise) in the month of February after the Black History Month celebrations have vanished.
The most positive aspect of Black History Season is its propensity to spark interest in Black history, culture, legacy, and even current issues that involve the Black community. Perhaps the irony of me coining this time period Black History Season is the recurring trend of Black people who observe these special days, yet allow themselves to revert back to apathy from March until the following December.
Despite the short-lived celebration of Blackness, all is not lost on this alone. Let us use recent events such as police brutality toward Blacks, white supremacist media propaganda, and the perpetual exclusion of Black people from all outlets of the dominant society as a rallying cry to emphasize the importance of celebrating our past greatness and using it as a blueprint to build a promising future. Let Black people be the reason for Black History Season.

Black History Season it is!
I like this!
Since September of 2014 I’ve been in Black History Season….. I crave to know more, and with the amount of hidden information out there, Im confident I’ll be in this season all the way until (death).
This is great because i just started reading this book “The browder files”
This book addresses the legacy of greatness that ALL black people should know about
This was a great read and I have already repost this on my Facebook.
Black History Season. You heard it here first at the Melanoid Nation. I think for the people on this forum, Black History Season continues all year round. You should talk to the government and have Black History Season be a national season. If we can have Hunting Season in America, why not Black History Season?
There should be a national holiday called “Thanks black people for not blowing up our buildings or killing us in the streets after we treated you like shit and got away with it for the past 400 years” day every year.
That would probably be a white supremacist holiday lol cause they have been saying exactly that for the past 400 something years
