What is Black History Month?
Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month, is a major celebration that has occurred every year since 1926 in the United States. The month-long event focuses on the achievements and history of African Americans.
The idea for this celebration was conceived by Historian Carter G. Woodson who proposed a time during which African Americans would be honored and Black history emphasized.
When is Black History Month?
It takes place in the second week of February in honor of Frederick Douglass, a formerly enslaved man who contributed to the abolitionist movement, as well as Abraham Lincoln, who abolished slavery.
Black History Month often highlights the following notable figures:
Black History Month today
Ever since 1926, many countries have celebrated black people and their contributions to history and culture, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands.
