A CENTURY OF BLACK HISTORY COMMEMORATIONS:
BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY
BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY
In 1925, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson planned the inaugural week-long observance of Black history, he could have hardly anticipated the imprint he would leave on the world. From Negro History Week to Black History Month, Association for the Study of Negro Life and History has carried forth the tradition and the observances have become part of the woof and warp of American culture and increasingly the global community. For its 100th theme, the Founders of Black History Month urges us to explore the impact and meaning of Black history and life commemorations in transforming the status of Black peoples in the modern world.
