It’s February, Black History Month
It’s February, Black History Month
Arms up, clap your hands, sing out strong
Celebrate black history in February
And all year long

Hank Aaron is a legend in MLB
And his home run hitting made history
Ella Fitzgerald sang jazz so strong
She was known as the 1st Lady of Song
Sidney Poiter’s acting shined so bright
He was a movie star hero to black and white
And Cicely Tyson was a movie star, too
She did roles that showed black is beautiful

It’s February, Black History Month
It’s February, Black History Month
Arms up, clap your hands, sing out strong
Celebrate black history in February
And all year long

Michell Obama is known in history as the 1st African American 1st Lady
Michael Jordan is known to everyone as the best basketball player ever, under the sun

Marie Maynard Daly studied in chemistry
And was the 1st black woman to earn a Ph.D.
Langston Hughes was a poet and he loved to write
He celebrated black culture and black life

Clap, clap, clap
Tap, tap, tap
Sway, sway, sway
Celebrate black history every day

It’s February, Black History Month
February, Black History Month
Arms up, clap your hands, sing out strong
Celebrate black history in February
And all year long

Misty Copeland was the first black ballet dancer
To earn a principal part in the American Dance Theater
George Washington Carver is known for helping plants grow
like soybeans, peanuts and sweet potatoes
Shirley Chisholm was an American Politician
And the first African American Congresswoman
Arthur Ashe was a tennis star
Who won championships and helped sick people near and far

It’s February, Black History Month
It’s February, Black History Month
Arms up, clap your hands, sing out strong
Celebrate black history in February
And all year long
