Black History Month

The month of February is recognized as Black History Month. The origins of Black History Month go back to 1926, when historian Carter G. Woodson founded Negro History Week to celebrate the history, contributions and culture of African-Americans. Fifty years later, as part of the American bi-centennial celebrations in 1976, the week was expanded to become first National Black History month.
