Twitter Launches New ChatBot To Celebrate Black History Month

February has been the official Black History Month in the United States ever since, which is why since it's Black History Month once again, Twitter is celebrating with a new bot recently created by the @Blackbirds team, which is Twitter's black employee resource group.

In fact, Twitter even said that it's the first ever Bot that was created by an employee resource group at the company.

New Twitter Bot Created For Black History Month

According to TheNextWeb, you can interact with the bot in a few ways by sending it a Direct Message. In Twitter's own words:

Today in #BlackHistory shares one of three lesser known black history facts of the day.

#ForTheCause will highlight community events in major cities like New York, Atlanta, and San Francisco.

#SelfCare will provide tips and help to support people put themselves first.

#ForTheCulture will highlight notable moments and content from black creators and driving, voices on Twitter.

Twitter's Plans For Black History Month

The hashtag handle #ForTheCulture is Twitter's primary theme for this year's Black History Month celebration, which is meant to be an inclusive hashtag highlighting Black Americans from past and present. Along with the Bot, Twitter will also be relaunching its emoji for #BlackHistoryMonth and #BHM. At the same time, the social media company is also planning to create a mural in downtown New York City.

It's All About The Cause

According to Mashable, when you open up a Direct Message conversation, you will have the option to select any of the four mentioned options. Selecting #ForTheCause, for instance, will start a conversation that will help you find related activities in your area.

Keep in mind that it's a pretty basic level of interaction, but it is enough to get people thinking about Twitter's cause, which is what really matters in the bottom-line. If you are interested in educating yourself a bit with Black History, you can go ahead and send a DM to @Blackbirds.
