A screenshot of the Ekoji YBA Statement on Black History Month. It reads: "Today marks the beginning of Black History Month, a tradition accredited to Carter G. Woodson, who expressed a strong desire for Americans to learn and celebrate the achievements of Black Folk. As early as 1912, he worked to uplift and recognize Black History and the communities and the people that built it through commemorative weeks, educational journals, and collaborative conventions. We, the Young Buddhist Association, would like to highlight Black Buddhists who have immeasurably contributed to the illuminating strength of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha). We also thank those individuals who have added to the history of walking the Eightfold Path, and all the guidance, insight, and compassion they have extended to others. In deep gassho, we give reverence, respect, and admiration to the 30 listed Black Buddhists, and the innumerable other Black Buddhists a part of the Worldwide Sangha who have helped highlight the intersection between Blackness and Buddhism. May all be safe. May all be healthy. May all be happy. May all live/rest with ease.
