Black August was initially made in 1969 by individuals from the Black Panther Party as a way for African Americans to commend their legacy and culture, marking the assassination Black Panther George Jackson during a prison rebellion in California. The idea behind Black August is to have remembrance for those who have died during this month in history. Black people are resisting. First, for their survival. And just like every generation before them, they are resisting to make their lives better and give themselves a chance at freedom. The history of black people in America is one of living for generations in a society where our lives have been considered less than human, where our dignity as individuals has been consistently denied. This month is a time to reflect and learn about the legacies of Black revolutionaries, while we rededicate ourselves to the protracted struggles against white supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism. Join us as we give a platform to the next generation of black revolutions so we may study, plan, and pledge to continue the work and fight for Black liberation into the future
