Today, we begin Black History Month 2026, and this year’s national theme, “A Century of Black History Commemorations,” honors 100 years of intentional efforts to study, preserve, and celebrate Black history, culture, and contributions.

At the National Medical Association, we recognize how these commemorations have not only shaped public understanding but have also helped transform the social, educational, and health outcomes of Black communities across generations. As physicians and advocates, we remain committed to advancing equity, opportunity, and excellence while honoring the legacy that made our progress possible.

This month, we celebrate the power of remembrance and the responsibility to continue building a healthier, more just future for all.
