The Black History Month theme for 2025, African Americans and Labor, according to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH®), 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."
Islip Arts Council invited Black creatives to contemplate how work of all kinds influenced Black history and culture in their daily lives. From the historical agricultural labor of enslaved African Americans to entrepreneurship in Black communities, Black people's work has been transformational throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora.
