GA-SWOG celebrates Black History Month! It is not only a time to recognize black excellence and the foundational contributions to our society made by black Americans, but also to elevate black voices and to continue to fight against systemic oppression, racism, and disparities faced by black communities. Actively learning the lessons from Black History is the only way we as social workers can uphold our ethical responsibilities and provide ethical practice to those who need it. What can you do all year round to support the Black community? 1.) Purchase from Black Owned Businesses 2.) Listen to, follow, and pay Black Creators for their work 3.) Speak out against racism in all its forms at all levels--from the government, to your communities, to your homes 4.) Sign petitions and donate to meaningful organizations 5.) Reflect on your own biases and problematic actions and continually work on your anti-racism education

As we recognize and celebrate Black History Month throughout the month of February, we must remember that Black History is American History, and we must study and remember it always. There are many things we can do as a collective to ensure we’re bringing awareness, love, and light to the black community. Make it a personal goal to: • Use your platform to educate about black history, justice, and equality. • Follow up on the commitments and promises you made during the BLM protests. • Share a post from a black business owner in your community. • Support, shop, and recommend black businesses in your area. • Collaborate and work together with black businesses where you can. Let’s work together to be the change we want to see in our world.

During February, you'll see al lot of posts and content featuring Black Americans in 'Black" contexts or a review of Black Americans who've made contributions to life in America, and the world, as we know it. I tend to do the opposite. I am Black every day, I'm living Black history everyday, I celebrate Black accomplishments every day. Simply put by many others, Black History Month is not for me. It's for those who don't know. This article is a great view of how we show up everyday and elevate Black history by our very existence. #bhm #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory365

February is Black History Month. What can you do to celebrate? Well, I'm so glad you asked! ✊ Invest in Black-owned businesses Do you follow a Black creator on social media? Sign up for their Pateron! Or go grab a bite to eat at a Black-owned business. ✊ Take time to learn about the Black experience There's tons of documentaries and movies illustrating the experience of Black Americans. Having trouble choosing one? My recommendation would be the documentary-- 13th. ✊ Amplify Black Voices Share posts from Black creators, engage with their content! One of my favorite authors/creators is Rachel Cargle and during Black History Month, she encourages those that follow her on social media to do the work instead of her doing all the heavy lifting, and in doing so, will posts prompts for followers to take time to research and dig into for themselves. 👊 Celebrate, but don't ask for labor If it was your birthday and someone asked you to bake your own cake, it might be a little confusing, right? Let's not put the work on people of color to educate. But let's definitely celebrate the many contributions that Black Americans have made to this country.

Celebrating Juneteenth means celebrating Black leadership and Black self-determination. Black Union troops led the efforts to read and implement the Emancipation Proclamation to many parts of Texas where there were still slaves. Clara Peoples, an African American woman from Oklahoma, brought the history and tradition to Oregon when she learned that her Black coworkers at the Kaiser shipyards had never heard of the holiday. In 2021, Juneteenth became a federal and state holiday following the clamor and outrage of months long George Floyd protests, many of which were Black-led. Our Black and African communities have a rich history of making their dignity and independence real and known. Use this year’s Juneteenth to learn the history of America’s second Independence Day. Use it to support the protestors and leaders who remain behind bars to this day because of their participation in the George Floyd uprisings. Support and extend solidarity to Black-led organizations because Juneteenth is everyday.
