The theme of Black History Month this year is "The Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity."
The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) chose the theme, as it does every year: Past themes include "Black Migrations," "Black Women in American Culture and History" and "The Niagara Movement," among others.
