Summary

Black History Month 2025 is being jointly observed by several prominent U.S. institutions—the Library of Congress, National Archives, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum—to honor the achievements of African Americans in the fight for full citizenship. A key component of this year’s recognition is the “Power Light: Russell Lees Coal Survey” at the National Archives, featuring photographs by Russell Lees documenting coal laborers and a government assessment of their well-being.
