Black History Month to Antonio means celebrating his lineage
and honoring those who have walked the path 
that many of us are walking through our lives today.

Black History Month for Rell is community, he says 
it’s sad that we allow our culture to be celebrated for only a month 
when in reality it should be celebrated everyday.

Black History Month to me is a celebration of 
all the black people who died for us and to give up their lives for us 
to be where we are today. People like Martin Luther King , and Nelson Mandela.

Photographer and student Mosijah Roye asks, "What is Black History Month to you? For the month of February I would like to post one black person every day detailing what this month, our month means to us. Every weekday I will post a person and write a short caption about what this month means to them"
