Black History Month, from February 1st to 29th, is an annual recognition of African American culture, history, and triumphs. The idea was first discussed by historian Carter G. Woodson and began originally as a week-long celebration started in 1926. This week was used in American cities and schools as a time to discuss the contributions to history that were made by African Americans. Now, we use the month of February to celebrate and educate about Black History and its importance to our nation’s past, present, and future. With over 45 million African American citizens living in the United States today, it is essential that we recognize their historical and cultural impact. The month of February is used to recognize and celebrate Black culture through art, stories, and history. Although February is the designated month of celebration, it is important that we remember to recognize Black history and culture year-round.
