White House will celebrate Black History Month as some government agencies skip after anti-DEI order

The Trump administration will celebrate Black History Month at the White House, despite an executive order that ended federal diversity programs. The order has created confusion in government agencies about race acknowledgment and cultural observances.

Trump’s executive order has caused confusion across federal agencies on how to acknowledge race and report demographic data.

The event will feature Black political figures and activists, including Republican Sen. Tim Scott and prison reform advocate Alice Johnson.

Despite Trump’s efforts, some Black Republicans express concerns that the administration’s policies may harm the GOP’s appeal to Black voters.
