Each Sunday for the Month of February 2025 NHMBC featured four members of the church community to give a video presentation of "A Moment in Black History and Person of the week .
What does it mean
Black History Month means looking back at the impact pioneers and leaders of the Black community have had on our community, organizations and cities. It means celebrating and honoring the legacy these leaders have laid for future generations to follow. It means supporting the advancement of the Black community amidst the racial injustices that continue to happen throughout the U.S. today.
It means educating ourselves further and honoring the fact that we would not be where we are today without the innovative contributions these Black leaders and pioneers have made — and to remind ourselves daily that Black history cannot be contained to a single month but should celebrated year-round.

The Black church has played a pivotal role in Black history, serving as a central hub for community support, political activism, education, and spiritual guidance, providing a safe space for African Americans to gather, resist oppression, and fight for social justice, particularly during times of slavery and the Civil Rights Movement; essentially acting as the backbone of the African American community throughout history.
