Happy February! Welcome to Black History Month 2025. The 2025 Black History Month theme, African Americans and Labor, focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds – free and unfree, skilled and unskilled, vocational and voluntary – intersect with the collective experiences of Black people. Work is at the epicenter of Black History and culture. From our work in the cotton fields to the White House, Black people’s work has been transformational throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora. The 2025 Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” highlights and celebrates this work’s potent impact, which echoes across centuries.
Here at Forgive for Health Ministries (FFHM), we continue to contribute to the collective impact of Black people in this country and work tirelessly to help people forgive, eat healthier, manage their chronic diseases, and breathe and thrive. We are gatekeepers and community change agents ready to walk with you on your journey to forgiveness.
This month, we continue to offer programs for people of all ages. Below, find our February program offerings and ways to engage in our movement as we celebrate Black History Month.
