Celebrate Black History with Britannica

In February,  we celebrate Black History Month!

Britannica's Guide to Black History presents a vast array of articles, hundreds of images, and a wide assortment of multimedia clips.

This guide traces two millennia of black history, and the browse features enable you to pinpoint the central people, places, topics, and events covered in Black History. This Spotlight has biographies on people such as Alvin Ailey, Matthew Henson, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Hank Aaron. In addition, there is a subject browse that allows the user to look up people, places, issues, and events based on topic. Encyclopaedia Britannica's Guide to Black History represents an effort to trace the African American experience and achievements in the United States and elsewhere.
