Black History Month is an annual celebration of the achievements made by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in United States history. Black History Month is a national observance occurring throughout February.
Also known as African American History Month, the observance originated from “negro History Week,” developed by noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans.
Since 1976, every U.S president has designated February as Black History Month. Other countries which include, Canada and the United Kingdom, also have months celebrating Black history.
