The 2025 Black History Month theme, 鈥淎frican Americans and Labor,鈥� focuses on the various and profound ways that work鈥攆ree and unfree, skilled and unskilled, vocational and voluntary鈥攊ntersects with the collective experiences of Black people.

From the agricultural labor of enslaved Africans to the debates among Black educators about vocational training, to entrepreneurship and organized labor鈥檚 role in fighting injustice, Black people's work has been transformational across the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora. 

This theme highlights and celebrates the potent impact of Black labor throughout history.
