The San Diego Unified School District is holding a ceremony to raise the Black Lives Matter flag in honor of Black History Month.

In a tweet, the district said that the ceremony will take place on Feb. 1 and is open to all students, community members, and staff.

“In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, San Diego Unified students from across the district will raise the Black Lives Matter flag to signify our shared commitment to creating a just, equitable, and empathetic world,” the tweet states.

This isn’t the first time the district has raised the Black Lives Matter flag. In February 2021, the district also raised the Black Lives Matter flag in honor of Black History month.

A tweet shows the flag flying over the district’s central office, below the United States and California flag.
