President Trump will host a reception at the White House on Wednesday afternoon to honor Black History Month.
The president issued a proclamation recognizing Black History Month on Feb. 3.
"From the very beginning, our country has been blessed with countless black American heroes. For more than two and a half centuries, these legends have made timeless contributions to our government, laws, military, economy, workforce, and culture," it reads.
"With their tremendous legacy in mind, as President, I proclaim that 'black history' is not distinct from American history — rather, the history of black Americans is an indispensable chapter in our grand American story," he added.
The celebration comes as the Trump administration has faced criticism over allegations of "sanitizing" history at Smithsonian museums and historical sites managed by the National Park Service. It also comes after the president was slammed for a now-deleted video posted to Truth Social that briefly portrayed former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes sparked controversy.
Trump is also likely to honor the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Civil Rights icon who died Tuesday at 84.
