A resolution to declare February 2026 as Black History Month in the state of Michigan and to honor the history, culture, and contributions of African Americans to the state of Michigan and the United States.

The resolution designates February 2026 as Black History Month in Michigan. It aims to honor and recognize the important history, culture, and contributions of African Americans both in Michigan and across the United States.

Supporters view this resolution as a vital acknowledgment of the significant role that African Americans have played in shaping Michigan's history and culture. They believe it promotes education and awareness about the contributions of African Americans, fostering a sense of pride and community.

Critics may argue that declaring a specific month for Black History could overshadow the ongoing issues of racial inequality and injustice that still exist today. They might contend that it is insufficient to address systemic problems and that more proactive measures are needed beyond symbolic gestures.
