The celebration of Black History Month acknowledges the contributions black Americans have made to American culture. This annual celebration helps to enlighten, educate, and reminisce about our countries past with a new lens of hope and admiration for our trailblazers.
Black History Month has its roots in something called Negro History Week. In 1925, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a black historian who founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, proposed Negro History Week as a way to encourage people to learn more about black history. He selected a week in February that included the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and black abolitionist Frederick Douglass. In 1976 President Gerald Ford formerly recognized Black History Month.
