Month of February


Recognize Achievements

Black history month is the time we celebrate the achievements, accomplishment of understanding people. Black History Month is a remembrance of the events in the history of the African Diaspora. Since 1976, it is celebrated annually in the United States of America in February.
Black History Month is also referred to as African-American History Month.

 
Black History Month actually started as Negro History Week in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson. The goal of Black History Week was to educate the American people about African-Americans' cultural backgrounds and reputable achievements.
 
his purpose was for the history of African Americans to become considered a more significant part of American history as a whole. The purpose of Black History Month is to promote awareness of African American history to the general public. It is arguable that despite the opinions of several critics, Black History Month has several advantages, and to an extent.
During Black History Month, African American history is taught to thousands of students at the elementary, high school and university levels respectively. African American history is an extremely important part of American history, and it is almost impossible to find an American History textbook that does not include passages about black history.
 
Black history month is a time to recognize the efforts of African Americans who have risk their lives, broke laws, and stand up for what they believe.
 
African Americans had different beliefs and jobs but they all fought for freedom. There were government officials, civil rights leaders, religious leaders, scientist, inventors, abolitionists, scholars, educators, entertainers, and athletes
