On the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and in celebration of Black History Month, NFL Network announces the debut of a new documentary "Keep Pushin: 60 Years of Activism in the NFL," The film traces the evolution of activism on the part of players of color through generations, shining a light on the realities of being a Black athlete in the NFL then and now, as well as showcases how players' growing leadership in activism reflects the broader changes in America over the past six decades.

As we continue Black History Month, the NFL celebrates several employees from our 3 offices in New York, New Jersey and LA who are making an impact in their department and helping to shape the league.

As we continue our celebration of black history month, the NFL looks to honor the many trailblazers that made the game of football what it is today. And who better to help spotlight the NFL's first ever HBCU player, than another HBCU alum, and arguably the greatest player of all time.

In the aftermath of the tragic murder of George Floyd in 2020, entertainer and hip-hop icon Ice Cube wanted to help create meaningful change in the black community. So he and his team got together and made the "Contract With Black America", an initiative that aims to increase the economic equity and partnerships with Black-owned businesses. This Black History Month we take a look at how that program expanded to the National Football League.

The battle for equality in professional football wasn't just waged on the playing field, but in the front office as well. This Black History Month we recognize trailblazers like Claude "Buddy" Young who fought and sacrificed to bring diversity to every level of the sport.

Representation and diversity are of the utmost importance at every level of the National Football League, but one area that still seeks improvement is the agent and management spaces. Aaron and Andre Eanes, the management team behind 3-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, hope to use their platform to show a younger generation you can impact the game in many different ways.

We spend much of Black History month spotlighting the many trailblazers on the field who made the game of football what it is today, but we forget about those on the sidelines who broke barriers as well. Men like Burl Toler, who was a pioneer for equality in many different avenues of his life. Burl's grandson shares more about his incredible story.

This Black History Month we recognize every trailblazer, every pioneer and those who continued the fight for equality without the spotlight or notoriety. Professional football is no different, where many years after Fritz Pollard broke the games color barrier, a group of men bravely trudged forward and continued his work to integrate the sport.

As we continue to celebrate Black History month, we look to spotlight those players continuing the legacy of the incredible icons that shaped our game…and our nation. The work that Giants defensive lineman Kayvon Thibodeaux is doing through his "Dream Foundation" shows that Black history isn't just the past…it's happening now.

The game of football has helped countless players create generational wealth through the sport they love, but it has also produced far too many tragic tales of athletes mismanaging their money. Former NFL Linebacker, and current professor at the University of Pennsylvania Brandon Copeland hopes to put an end to such stories through the impact of financial literacy.
