If you're genuinely confused and not trolling, it's okay to use black as an adjective. African American is okay too if they are that, but the 90s trend of referring to everyone black as AA is over.

Not trolling. I think you either call it African American History month and write stuff about blacks who were descended from American slaves or you call it Black History Month in which case the inclusion of a Barbadan(?) working in Canada makes more sense
