Create Designs for your Business to Celebrate Black History Month 

Black History Month is an annual month-long celebration to recognize the important contributions to American society by African Americans. Since 1976, February has been designated as Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month. Other countries, such as Canada, also devote a month to celebrate Black History. 

Unfortunately, stories about Black achievements and contributions to society are often neglected and forgotten. The celebration is to understand Black histories, and to spotlight Black excellence. Each year, there is a specific theme, such as "African Americans and the Vote" or "The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity". 

Many organizations, institutions, and businesses, celebrate Black History Month in numerous ways. From supporting Black-owned local businesses to donating funds to charities, there are many ways that businesses and organizations can do to uplift the Black community.

Ideas to Center Black History Month through Graphic Design

To celebrate BH Month throughout February, customize free flyers, banners, infographics, and more. Here are some content ideas:

• Support Black-Owned Businesses: Many Black-Owned businesses encounter structural racism, which poses a threat on their ability to serve their respective community and overall function. Between February and April, an estimated 40% of Black-owned businesses closed their doors. This percentage is 2x higher in comparison to white-owned businesses. To help local Black-owned businesses, create impressive posters and flyers to increase their clientele. 
• Donate to Charities that Support Racial Equity and Equality: Many charities and organizations that support anti-racist equity need donations and volunteers to continue their work  to bring justice for the Black community. If you own a business, consider donating a percentage of sale revenue to charities and organizations that are based on racial justice. Create a flyer or banner to promote this donation and to empower your clientele. 
• Virtual Events: Host events to promote racial equality in the workplace. Given the ongoing pandemic, many of these events may be virtual. If your business is hosting an event, create an amazing flyer, poster, or banner to promote it. 
• Social Justice Advocacy: Movements, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, have grown out of persistent racial injustices that the Black community experiences. If your organization or business is looking to get involved or spread awareness, create a motivational design to demonstrate the support.
