ABC NEWS HONORS BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH SPECIAL COVERAGE ACROSS ALL PROGRAMS AND PLATFORMS

ABC News will honor Black History Month throughout February, with special coverage across all programs and platforms. Programming will feature a variety of impactful stories, profiles and content, including the following:

“Good Morning America” will feature creators using social media to spread awareness about Black history and helping to educate and engage audiences in powerful ways. Black-owned small businesses recovering from recent natural disasters and demonstrating remarkable resilience will receive heartwarming live surprises to help them continue recovering. In a special health-focused segment, “It’s Time for a Checkup!,” three doctors will share their best tips for living a healthy life. Wrapping up Black History Month, there will be a celebration of soul line dancing, with a live-in-the-studio dance-off that celebrates both the history and ongoing impact of this art form.

“GMA3: What You Need to Know” kicks off the month with a discussion about the importance of a Black actor playing the lead role in “Captain America: Brave New World” as the program counts down the days to the next film in the highly anticipated Marvel franchise. Throughout the month, “GMA3” will also feature special guests and chefs to help celebrate the month.

“World News Tonight with David Muir,” “Nightline,” “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” “The View” and ABC News Radio will honor Black History Month throughout February.

“Tamron Hall” will feature supermodel Chanel Iman, Madisin Rian — the first Black woman to be the face of Giorgio Armani Beauty — and fashion designer Nina Parker in its “Up-and-Coming Designer” series, which gives young designers a platform to showcase their designs and get mentored by a surprise fashion icon at the end of the week. During the week of Valentine’s Day, the show will have special performances from musical group Jagged Edge and singer Heather Headley.

ABC News Live, the 24/7 streaming news network available on Disney+, Hulu and other digital platforms, and primetime program “Prime with Linsey Davis” will focus on people trying to preserve Black history, doing work within their community and making their mark on the culture, including the creator of the popular Instagram page, “The Shade Room.” The streaming platform will also highlight a group creating the next generation of Black teachers and exploring the impact they have on Black students, a story about how the Republic of Liberia can trace its roots back to the United States, and a family who’s fighting to keep the land their ancestors were once enslaved on from being taken from them through eminent domain.

ABC News Digital will publish a feature on the risk of litigation around DEI and in-depth reporting on the increase in community history lessons in response to restrictions on classroom content on race, gender and politics, as churches, libraries and other community centers nationwide band together to teach and learn history for themselves.
