Black History Month

February 1, 2026

Black History Month has a rich and powerful history. Its roots trace back to a weeklong observance established in 1926 by historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson and the ASALH: Association for the Study of African American Life and History. In 1976, during the United States Bicentennial, it was formally recognized as Black History Month.

At Cementation, we believe inclusive practices build stronger, more resilient teams. By educating ourselves, we deepen our appreciation for the struggles, triumphs, and contributions of the Black community, strengthening the connections that help shape a more informed, respectful, and productive future.
