February 2026 marks the centenary since the first seeds of Black History Month were sown in America.

In February 1916, Negro History Week was founded by Carter G Woodrow and Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. 50 years later, Black History Month was endorsed by the then president Gerald Ford.

This year's Black History Month theme is called ‘A Century of Black History Commemorations’.

Follow us as we share some other figures in Black History from the USA and around the world this month.

Andrea-Vicky Amankwaa-Birago takes us through her research journey of uncovering the remarkable stories of two 19th century Asante princes.

Cousin brothers: Kwasi Boachi and Kwame Poku were both 10 years old when they migrated to the Netherlands in 1837 on the request of Asantehene Kwaku Dua I, Kwasi’s father and Kwame’s uncle.

What I found most compelling was seeing the parallels almost 200 years apart between their migration stories and those of contemporary first-generation Ghanaians that make that journey from home to foreign lands.
