About the Black History Month Taxonomy Project


Black History Month (BHM) is a national commemoration of historical and current contributions of African Americans, and today, virtually every public library across the U.S. conducts some programming during Black History Month. However, the content, scope, and quality of that programming vary, and little is known about how BHM programming is developed. The Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) received a Planning Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to explore the current state of Black History Month (BHM) programming offered at public libraries and identify significant gaps.

This project is led by the Black Caucus American Library Association (BCALA) and includes collaborative partners from the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the Program for Research on Black Americans (PRBA) at the University of Michigan, and the American Library Association (ALA). It is also made possible through funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
