Celebrating American History in February

Carter G. Woodson--

an African American historian, author, and journalist who is known as the "Father of Black History." He was born in 1875 in Virginia and was one of the first African Americans to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University.

He is considered a pioneer in the field of African American studies and is remembered for his tireless efforts to promote the study and recognition of the contributions of African Americans to American history and culture.  

Black History Month is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, and in October in the United Kingdom. The observance was first established as "Negro History Week" by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926, and later expanded to a month-long celebration in 1976. The goal of Black History Month is to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history.
