This Black History Month, Let’s Learn—Together

The core of our mission at edX is to increase access to high quality learning in a wide range of topics. To celebrate Black History Month, the annual celebration of Black history and culture in the U.S., and observed in many countries internationally, we’re supporting our learners with what we do best — curating and sharing a selection of courses to educate, inspire, and empower. We encourage you to use these courses to fuel your learning and inform conversation.
