THE ROOTS OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH

The tribute to black history is rooted in the work of scholar
Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D. In 1926, Dr. Woodson introduced Negro History Week in an effort to focus national attention on the great achievements of Black people throughout American history. In 1976, as part of our nation’s Bicentennial celebration, this weeklong observance was officially designated Black History Month.
