In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to join him “in tribute to Black History Month and the message of courage and perseverance it brings to all of us.”
Pioneers like the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, author Maya Angelou, and President Barack Obama have all left their mark on American history. They, and countless others, have inspired generations of Black Americans to leave their own lasting impact on society.
We asked Prison Fellowship® staff and Academy participants what Black History Month meant to them. Their responses capture the importance of remembering the past while also looking to the future.
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
