Black History Month
In 1926, Carter G. Woodson founded Negro History Week, which was to raise awareness to the contributions of people of African descent made to world history.
It was observed in black schools, churches and YMCAs around the country. But over the decades, Woodson's idea has blossomed into a celebration of African-American culture that became Black History Month in 1976 to coincide with the nation's bicentennial. Black history month is now being celebrated by diverse communities in the United States and throughout the world.
Woodson believed that historians had whitewashed the contributions blacks have made to the world. His idea was that Negro History Week and, later, Black History Month -- would revise what we know about the
world we live in advocating similar arguments that proponents of African-centered education say today.
