African American Coaches Day is observed in the United States every first Tuesday of February. This day highlights the accomplishments of Black coaches and aims to combat racism in sports, where Black athletes and coaches have historically faced significant challenges. The origins of the day are unclear, but it serves to celebrate Black coaches and address institutional racism at all levels of sports. People participate by learning about notable Black coaches, sharing their stories, and supporting organizations that advocate for equality in sports. Notable initiatives, such as the Rooney Rule in the NFL, aim to improve hiring opportunities for ethnic minority coaches. Activities may include social media campaigns using the hashtag #AfricanAmericanCoachesDay to promote awareness and solidarity against systemic racism.
