Did you know...
Black History Month began in 1926 as Negro History Week. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, aka ASALH), organized the first national Negro History Week; about 40 years later, in the late 1960s, the holiday had developed into Black History Month, which was observed on many college campuses, as per History.
The first federally-recognized Black History Month was observed in 1976. President Gerald Ford officially deemed Black History Month as a public holiday.
Black History Month is in February for a reason. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the founder of the ASALH and who is often called the "father of black history", chose to hold the first Negro History Week during the second week of February in honor of when both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were born.
For safety reasons, morning car rider students should not exit their vehicles until the first bell rings at 8:55am. Students are not allowed to enter the building until that time as there is no staff supervision available.
Students needing to be dropped off prior to the morning bell must use the bus lanes and enter the cafeteria up until 8:35am. After that point, all traffic must go through and line up in the car rider lanes at the front of the building.
Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this important safety issue!
