February is Black History Month in the U.S., a time to celebrate the incredible achievements of African Americans and remember that Black history is a part of everyone’s history. As Christians, this month reminds us that we serve a creative God who made every single one of us in His image and called each of us His masterpiece. By celebrating and listening to Black voices and leaders, we remember that unity is never uniformity, and every part of the body of Christ is essential.
So, this Black History Month, celebrate by expanding the voices you listen to. Try reading some Black authors, listening to Black pastors, or following Black leaders on social media. Here are a few Black leaders, speakers, and writers you can start with:
