It’s finally February, and that means it’s black history month. Until the 20th century, black history was mostly absent or misrepresented. In 1915, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the son of former slaves who had become a scholar and a historian, founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. This helped produce a journal of African American history. The journal was filled with achievements of black men and women that were untold. The journal is today called The Journal of African-American History.
Black History Month was first proposed by the leaders of the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969. Black History Month is a month set aside to learn, honor, and celebrate the achievements of black men and women throughout history. Men and women like Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Maya Angelou, and many more. It’s very important for teachers around the world to start educating their students more about black history month.
