"those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history." - carter g. woodson what carter g. woodson would say about the continued celebrations is unknown, but he would smile on all honest efforts to make Black history a field of serious study and provide the public with thoughtful celebrations.
History helps us grow from the mistakes of our ancestors but also serves to inspire us by showing the greatness humanity is capable of.
You can't have Black History Month without acknowledging the horrific injustices cast upon them - but it's also a celebration of their remarkable accomplishments.

celebrate black history month. all month long in february. association for the study of african american life and history.
This year we celebrate 100 years of Black History Month. First founded as Negro History Week by Carter G. Woodson in February 1926, to honor the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, it has since evolved into a month-long celebration to preserve and promote Black history and culture.

receiving training on stalking....leads to more - stalking charges and support for survivors.
Many professionals tasked with holding offenders accountable and/or helping keep victims safe have little training and few resources around recognizing and responding to stalking. SPARC is here to help! #NSAM2026
"document every stalking incident." there is a sample log filled in the graphic.
Stalking incidents add up – but only if we do the math. SPARC’s documentation logs (available in 10 languages!) can help keep track of every stalking incident to better illustrate the scope of the stalking, the timeline, and patterns. www.stalkingawareness.org/documentatio... #NSAM2026
notebook that says "what causes stalking" with three choices, all crossed out in red, and they are "sharing location." "social media." and "being 'too nice.'" there is an arrow pointing down to "stalkers" in big, bolded letters.
Too often, we criticize victim behavior instead of putting the blame where it rightfully belongs: on the stalker. While safety planning and risk reduction can be practical for victims, nothing that a victim does – or does not do – makes them responsible for the stalker’s decision to stalk. #NSAM2026
And of course, all items are also found on our Amazon Wishlist and will be shipped to us directly for convenience. We thank everyone for their continued support! a.co/9Pmb6L8

a phone sitting on a table. caption reads: "1 in 3 stalking cases lasts longer than 1 year." messages on the phone read: happy new year. can't believe you haven't responded for over a year! (angry emoji). seriously, am i that bad? (eyeroll emoji). i guess you're too busy at that party. you look nice, btw.
Stalking cases can last from one afternoon to an entire lifetime. Stalking cases are dynamic; advocates and responders should prepare for the long haul and engage in ongoing safety planning and risk assessment as circumstances may change over time. #NSAM2026
