While the accomplishments of Black individuals throughout American history deserve recognition and celebration year-round, February provides a dedicated time to amplify and honor the inspiring contributions of Black people in America. I’ve long admired Google’s commitment to showcasing Black excellence as an integral part of American excellence, both through their products and during my three years working there.

Here are five ways Google is celebrating Black History Month across its platforms as posted on The Keyword:

  1. Discover Black Creators on YouTube:

Explore rising stars and established voices in music, social media, television, and more. YouTube Music features playlists highlighting regional dance genres like Chicago House and NOLA Bounce. Enjoy vibrant artwork by Stonie Blue across YouTube throughout the month.

  1. Explore Black History and Culture on Google Arts & Culture:

Dive into the “Black Creators” hub, which this year spotlights the life and work of artist Elizabeth Catlett. New stories from the Amistad Research Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, join hundreds of existing exhibits celebrating Black history and culture.

  1. Stream Black Stories on Google TV:

A curated collection highlighting the brilliance of Black stories and experiences is available all month long on the For You page. Enjoy shows like Key & Peele and Power, the miniseries Roots, and films like Monster’s Ball, available through your subscriptions or free with ads.

  1. Support Black Developers on Google Play:

One particularly product that I find myself using during Black History Month is the “Black History and Culture” collection in Google Arts & Culture app. It’s a great walkthrough of some of the amazing accomplishments from fashion, art, and History all collaborated with the Carnegie Hall, National Museum of African American History & Culture, and more.
