This Black History Month, Hulu is showcasing Black voices, stories and creators, both on and off the platform, through content launches, a first of its kind virtual concert, and monetary donations to non-profit organizations committed to advancing social justice. To help create a meaningful framework for the Black experience through storytelling, Hulu has also committed to amplifying Black voices - and not just during February.

Hulu Commits to Telling Diverse Stories Year-Round and Pledges Support to Non-Profit Organizations Advancing Social Justice
We recognize the shortest month of the year is simply not enough time to shine light on Black history, culture and community. That's why Hulu is making a commitment to release socially conscious short-form content each month throughout the year.
Beginning in March, the shorts will be accessible to both subscribers and non-subscribers on Hulu and Hulu's YouTube channel. The shorts will showcase Black thinkers, doers, entrepreneurs, educators and essential workers who are making an impact in their communities throughout the country.
This month, Hulu is also supporting nine non-profit organizations, carefully selected by the creators featured in Your Attention Please: The Series, with a monetary donation. Select Hulu subscribers will receive an email giving them the opportunity to choose one of the nine pre-selected organizations for Hulu to make a $10 donation to. Organizations include GirlTrek, a national health movement that activates thousands of Black women to be change makers, the Anti-Recidivism Coalition which advocates for criminal justice reform and Plant It Forward Farms, who empower refugees to develop sustainable urban farming businesses that produce fresh, healthy food for communities.
