The Earliest Recorded Protest Against Slavery Was By The Quakers In 1688
Quakers, also known as “The Society of Friends,” have a long history of abolition. But it was four Pennsylvania Friends from Germantown who wrote the initial protest in the 17th century. They saw the slave trade as a grave injustice against their fellow man and used the Golden Rule to argue against such inhumane treatment; regardless of skin color, “we should do unto others as we would have done onto ourselves.” In their protest they stated, “Pray, what thing in the world can be done worse toward us, then if men should rob or steal us away, & sell us for slaves to strange Countries, separating husband from their wife and children….”

The practice of vaccination in America was introduced to America an enslaved man named Onesimus.
An enslaved person by the name of Onesimus, African descent living in the Massachusetts colony was a gift to the Puritan church minister Cotton Mather from his congregation in 1706. He told the church minister about the way inoculations were practiced in Africa for centuries to prevent people from getting sick. By extracting the material from an infected person and scratching it into the skin of an uninfected person, you could deliberately introduce smallpox to the healthy individual making them immune. Mather took this information to Dr. Zabdiel Boylston when smallpox became a severe issue in Boston in 1721. Boylston inoculated 240 people, despite a large opposition to the practice.

One In Four Cowboys Was Black, Despite The Stories Told In Popular Books And Movies
In fact, it’s believed that the real “Lone Ranger” was inspired by an African American man named Bass Reeves. Reeves had been born a slave but escaped West during the Civil War where he lived in what was then known as Indian Territory. He eventually became a Deputy U.S. Marshal, was a master of disguise, an expert marksman, had a Native American companion, and rode a silver horse.
Black cowboys were often expected to do more of the work and the roughest jobs compared to their white counterparts. Loyalty did develop between the cowboys on a drive, but the Black cowboys were typically responsible for breaking the horses and being the first ones to cross flooded streams during cattle drives.

6 Ways to Celebrate Black History Month
According to the ASALH's website, the Black History Month theme for 2022 is:
Black Health and Wellness.
1) Explore and reflect on more than 400 years of history, learn about the historical events of African American people in the U.S.
We suggest starting with the short film , "Twenty & Odd" by The National Parks Service.
"The film’s title, 'Twenty & Odd,' is taken from a quote from English colonist John Rolfe describing the number of the first enslaved Africans brought to Virginia in 1619. The creative team chose this title to reclaim power of Rolfe’s phrasing that suggested that these enslaved Africans were so insignificant that they could not even bother to be properly counted.
The narrative for “Twenty & Odd” is Maya Angelou’s remarkable piece, “Still I Rise.” Through its voice and imagery, the film advances messages of African American empowerment, remembrance, education, inspiration, and engagement in iconic places stewarded by the National Park Service."
