Black History Month is a month set aside to learn, honor, and celebrate the achievements of black men and women throughout history. Since its inception, Black History Month has always been celebrated in February. Here at MSPP we would like to acknowledge this important month by asking you to ask the children in your life “what does Black History Month mean to you?” Responses will be posted on our website (first name and age only). Please respond directly to Gretchen Nash (
"My name is Chariss Webb. I am 12½ years old. My mother asked me what Black History Month means to me. I had to think about that. Black History Month means being proud of who you are. I am proud. We got a month to show our accomplishments but I celebrate being who I am all year."
