Black history books are being taken away from schools. So, we’re distributing books and other resources in local communities.

About the Protect Black History Initiative:

Communities across the country are faced with hostility towards the teaching of Black history in school. The Protect Black History Initiative will be sending free Black history resources and materials to local communities and organizations in need of support. While books are being removed from shelves, we’re placing books and other resources in homes and communities.

“If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs.”

- Mary McLeod Bethune

About Us

The Protect Black History Initiative is a project of the National Black Cultural Information Trust, Inc. Our mission is to provide information, resources, and tools that uplift the collective freedom of Black communities, while also correcting cultural misinformation. Through, Protect Black History, we continue the legacy of Dr. Carter G. Woodson and other great ancestors that came before us, by working to make Black History resources and materials accessible in local communities across the country.

“Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.”

—Dr. Carter G. Woodson
