<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Black History Month (BHM) is a national commemoration of historical and current contributions of African Americans, and today, virtually every public library across the U.S. conducts some programming
during Black History Month. However, the content, scope, and quality of that programming vary, and little is known about how BHM programming is developed. The Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) received a Planning Grant from the Institute
of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to explore the current state of Black History Month (BHM) programming offered at public libraries and identify significant gaps. </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
