Celebrate Black History Month - February 2026

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH:

“This year marks the 100th anniversary of Black History Month. Thank you, Dr. Carter G. Woodson. At a moment when some are trying to erase our history and roll back our hard-fought progress, California has never backed down from truth. Black history is California history, and we will defend it, protect it, teach it, and honor it.

Today, and every day, we salute and celebrate the Black leaders, organizers and trailblazers who built this state and who continue to move California forward.”
- Carolyn Fowler, CADEM Controller
